Have you heard of Pebble Go?

Mrs. Groden introduced us to the Pebble Go research data base in library.   We have been exploring the database in class during booktime.  There are so many topics to learn about!!  We can listen to articles, watch short videos, read about topics and look at pictures.  Here is Grace learning about the layers of the earth!


Mardi Gras!

The Razza family helped us celebrate Mardi Gras with beads and coloring pages. This holiday tradition is special in their family. Thanks for sharing this holiday with us!

Pat on the back celebration!

We made Valentine cookies today to celebrate filling our penny jar for the second time! Many thanks go to Mrs Razza who managed to help the children select their books for their book envelopes AND set up, roll and bake cookies with small groups of children. It was an all day affair topped off with a fire drill when it was finally time to eat them!  Good times!

New Year Resolutions!

Ask your child to share what they have resolved to do better at in 2016!


Martin Luther King

We spent some time discussing what we already knew about MLK before beginning our study of this important historical figure. It turns out we knew a lot!!  We have read stories, learned about the origin of our skin color, watched Martin's Big Words and written about his character traits so far.  Be sure to check in with your child to see what they have learned!

Johnny the K was IN THE HOUSE!!!

We had a great time with Johnny the K on January 14!  He performed many songs while showcasing his extensive collection of hats. Ask your child about some of the messages Johnny taught us through his music!


Check out Will's moves in the lower left corner!  Johnny chose him and a few others to go up on stage!
