  • We are Sculptors!

    We put the paints away on Monday during Art Class as Ms Penny taught us about Edgar Degas and what it means to be a sculptor!  We worked on a special sculpture for the art show based on Mexican Artwork, then used our creativity to create our own masterpiece!

  • Great Start to a New Week!

    We learned about the different blankets that are made in Mexico during small groups today.  We designed and decorated our own Mexican style blanket with Ms. Barbara and read Pretty Blankets by Bruce Larkin during reading groups.  As a special treat we we visited Bruce Larkin’s website and listened to him read his book to us as we watched the animation.  We were introduced to three new sight words today, this, on, and has.  These words are found in our new book for the week.  We reviewed these words along with our previous words in a fun game of Bingo.  We also found a few of our animal friends we have been learning about on our Bingo Cards.   Keep reviewing the sight words during homework time!

  • Ms. Penny in the Sonoran Desert

    Ms.  Penny was visiting the Sonoran Desert Museum on Friday and sent videos to the students of  different animals they saw while they were there.  The children were able to watch them on our new smartboard, then make their own video and send it back!  It’s amazing how technology can bring the world right into our very own classroom!
