Insect Zoo

As part if our science unit over insects we started collecting insects for our insect zoo today. It was such a nice day to go out and catch our insects. The kids caught flies, crickets, moths, butterflies, grasshoppers, caterpillars, lightning bugs, and some bugs we need to look up to see what they are. We will be continuing to collect and watch our insects for the next couple of weeks. I loved seeing all the excitement while learning about insects today.

Spirit Week: PJ Day

(Let's hope this is not how they look in my class today.)

Nature Walk

Yesterday our class went on a nature walk around the block of the school as part of our science class. We were on a scavenger hunt for birds, insects, animals, and plants. We had a beautiful day to do our nature walk and the class had so much fun learning and observing nature.

"About Me Posters"

As an assignment to get to know each other and me get to know my new students I assigned each student an "About Me Poster" the first week of school. Once each child brings their poster in they get to tell about it in front of the class. Enjoy the pictures of each student with their "About Me Poster".

Welcome 3rd and 4th Graders

Welcome 3rd and 4th grade students and parents. I was so excited to start the school year off and meet each and everyone of you. Our class spent our 1/2 day together learning a little about each other, learning classroom procedures, schedules, and rules. I loved the enthusiasm I saw on each of my students face as they entered my class and my goal is to keep that up throughout the school year. I will be praying for each family in my class throughout the school year and appreciate your prayers for me as well. This site was designed to use as a tool of communication for my class this year. I will be posting lots of information, photos, videos, and links to helpful educational sites. Please bookmark and check back often for updates.
