Spring Egg Hunt

The boys and girls had lots of fun hunting for eggs with their name on them. The bunny baskets were made from milk cartons. Hope everyone has a wonderful spring break!




























Inquiry Fair Class Project

Pictures and Research. The students selected an animal, insect, or reptile that would live on a farm and went to Wikepedia  to find a few facts. They then used the keyboard to type in their information. During art, students created their animal, insect, or reptile. These projects are displayed outside the classroom.

Practicing To Be A Paleontologist


Paleontologists study dinosaur bones.  The students pretended that the chocolate chip cookies were dinosaurs.  The chips in the cookies were dinosaur bones.  To replicate the tools used by a Paleontologist each student had tooth picks.  They enjoyed extracting the chocolate from the cookie as if they were dinosaur bones.  We may have a future paleontologist in the classroom.  This activity was based on the book Pre-Historic Pinkerton.
