Down on the farm...

We are studying about the farm and different farm animals. Last Friday, we made butter from heavy whipping cream. We ate it on crackers. The kids were surprised to find out that they liked it! Here are some pictures of the kids shaking their cream into butter.

First, we went over the recipe for making butter.


Next, we made the butter and enjoyed it on crackers.

 

Then, as a class, we wrote a story about our shared experience.

Field Trip to the Landfill

We have been studying about the importance of recycling in our classroom. We have started recycling paper and plastic in the room and the students are very excited to help save the world! We visited the Landfill to see the recycling center and to see where all of the trash goes that cannot be recycled. Here are some pictures from our trip to the landfill.

Here is a picture of us on the scales. Our class weighed over 1200 pounds!!


We recycled water bottles into shakers...

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

You won't believe all of the crazy things that happened in our room today!

First, we made Magic Milkshakes. We made them with vanilla ice cream, but when we took the lid off the blender...the milkshake had turned green! The class decided that maybe a leprechaun did it. Even though that were green, they were still delicious!




Then, when we came in the room after lunch we discovered our room had been destroyed! We found a letter from a leprechaun and we also found lots of gold that he left for us!!


We went outside to search for the leprechaun, but we couldn't find him!

Celebrating Dr. Seuss

Last week, we celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday all week. We read several of his fun, rhyming books in class. We also made Sr. Seuss hats and had fun Dr. Seuss snacks. We had so much fun while celebrating Dr. Seuss. Each day we read a different book and we had special activities that went along with each one.

We made Cat in the Hat hats...


We drew and wrote about Cat in the Hat in our journals...


For snack, we used made another version of our own Cat in the Hat hats...


On Wednesday, third graders from Mrs. Baldivid's class came and read Dr. Seuss books to us...


We made green eggs and ham...


Then we graphed whether we liked it or not. We liked them. They were yummy!!


Sr. Seuss week was a blast!!
