What can you learn about Dr. Seuss from the Pebble Go data base?

We have spent some time learning about Dr. Seuss from the Pebble Go data base. We are writing down our facts on post its to share with the class. Ask your child what they learned. 

The organisms have arrived!

As you may have heard, Room 13 has been hard at work building suitable habitats for some plant and animal organisms. We will be caring for them in our classroom until the April vacation break so it was important for us to ensure that the habitats had everything the organisms might need - food, water, shelter, space and safety. We have built 5 aquaria and 5 terraria. This week the plants arrived so we spent some time observing them before writing and drawing about them in our science books. Here we are observing the moss and tree seedlings. We also observed elodea and cabomba (freshwater) plants.  Stay tuned for the animals!  The energy in Room 13 is high as we wait for their arrival!

Valentine Celebration!
