Ice Cream Celebration and Wood Exploration!

Yesterday we filled our class compliment jar and voted to celebrate with an "ice cream party!" It was delicious!

This week we started our wood and paper science unit. Today we experimented to see what happens to wood when we add water to different types of wood. We found that the color and weight of the wood change. We also discovered that water can be used to hold pieces of wood together, although it doesn't make them very sturdy.

Thanks for a great day!
Love,
Ms. Conlee

Research Projects with Third Grade Buddies!

Last week we each chose a topic for an animal research project. We recorded several questions of what we wondered and wanted to learn about our topic. Today we partnered with Ms. Bell's third grade classroom to research about our animal and record answers to our questions. 

We will continue to work with our buddies to type our animal facts and match them to a photograph of our animal!

See you tomorrow!
Love,
Ms. Conlee

April Showers and May Flowers

It's hard to believe we are welcoming the month of April! We have been busy creating April calendars and planting sunflower seeds in connection with the books we've been reading. We learned that they may begin to sprout in 5-10 days. We will keep a close eye as we await for them to grow!

See you tomorrow!
Love,
Ms. Conlee
