New Year, New Look

This past weekend we gave our classroom a much needed facelift with some new paint and cubbies.  If you haven't seen it already, stop by and check it out! Ontonette Awosika chose the most beautiful shade of blue called "blue agave" and we also painted the back of one of the classroom doors with chalkboard paint. The cubbies also look terrific and have helped immensely with keeping the room organized.  A BIG BIG thanks to Ontonette as well the Angel, Demers and Branciforte families for all their hard work!!!

Getting Ready for our Garden



This week we started our year-long gardening project by weeding the plant boxes outside of our classroom.  The kids had a blast learning about the life cycles of plants and getting a little dirty!  The class also began an experiment on rain where they made rain bags to monitor rainfall. Thanks Meredith Angel  and Anna Voelzow for all your help!!!!
