Coin Sorting and Science!

On Friday we learned the names of four different coins: Penny, Nickel, Dime, and Quarter. We compared their colors, sizes, and smooth or bumpy edges. The friends at our table helped sort a huge piggy bank of coins!

Today we began our new science unit about trees! We took a trip to a cornfield which backs up to Van Allen and observed the tree our class will adopt for the school year. We talked about the roots, branches, leaves, and trunk of the tree. Afterwards we illustrated a summer tree in our tree journals. 

Thanks for a great day!
Love,
Ms. Conlee
