Yearbook Design Contest Entry

 

Trinity decided to enter this entry for the Emerald Park Yearbook Design Contest. We are proud of her for entering. Isn't this beautiful?

Rain Forest Animal Reports

We started our rain forest animal research project by roaming the room to look at the various choices we have from the Wildlife Fact File cards that we so graciously donated to me by a former student's grandparent. Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Adams! I had purchased one set for the classroom, but this addition really makes their work complete.

After they spent time roaming the room, the students selected their animal to research.

Next, they used their card to start the research and prewriting stage.

Planting Day

We are so lucky because the City of Kent sponsors a terrific program that we are privileged to enjoy!

This is Ms. Andrews. She works for the city. She it teaching us about our plant.

These are the guys from the city who helped us plant our dogwood bush.

Now we get to watch them grow. We will spend the next few weeks measuring our plants and watering them. We will take them home to plant some time in June.

A big thanks to the City of Kent, Ms. Andrews and her crew!

Rain Forest Mural

Here is the beginning stages of our mural. A big thanks to Mr. Domingo and Mrs. Wong for making this mural for our class.

And here is the "after" picture! Voila!

 

Mr. Domingo placed out silly monkeys on the hallway across from the mural to give them room to move.

Here are our native tropical rain forest villagers.

We learned a lot about bromeliads. Can you see the frogs in their water? This is where the male frogs place the tadpoles to grow.

Our butterflies and hummingbirds fly in the canopy layer.

 



April Fool's Day

On April Fool's Day, I told the students that I made them some "brown E's" and this did not go over well when they expected brownies. 

So, on April 2, I brought them brownies.
