Pond Pics and a few extra notes.

Here is our Pond week wrap up. I got so busy with the kids this week that I only remembered pictures one day this week but it was quite the day. Teacher Diana braved the pond that she drives by on the way to school and brought us a whole bunch of plants and reed to make into our own pond. First we had to get the dirt for the bottom and then used sticks to build beaver homes and more.

Making dragon flies
Working on our handwriting books
Enjoying books in a snugly spot
Painting our own watercolor ponds
more fun with dragonflies and tape

These two had a ball breaking up sticks to build our pond
Then we got to add water and ducks and bugs. What a fun activity!
Here is Diana taking down our Magic tree house. We got our class painted this weekend. Hopefully we will be able to adapt our new paint job to have a Magic tree house still so we can continue to go on reading adventures with Jack and Annie. I for on will miss it- but such is the life of progress.
For our food project we made frogs on a pond cookies-Delicious



We just wanted to again thank all of you for happily putting up with the chaos and mess that is our classroom right now. So many changes......... But the good news is that they should be doing the carpet this weekend- then we can really dig in and get it done. If you haven't see all the changes don't forget to poke your head in and check them out. I promise it will all be over soon.

Thank you so much for sharing your kids with us. Mothers Day always reminds me how lucky I am to get to have so many extra kids as a part of our School Family.
Graduation is kinda a mess this year because of all the construction and stuff going on but we are still planning on having it Thursday May 20 at 10:00 am you are all invited for a short program and treat. It usually only last an hour so you can get back to work or school.
Have a wonderful week!
Teacher Trina
