We have been enjoying the spring weather, and working in our class garden!  

The butterflies that we raised in our classroom, were set free!

After our visit to the Harley School, those students visited us!  We ate lunch together, gave the students a tour, and then we split into two groups for a Phys. Ed. activity, or a Music group activity.  We had a blast practicing our dance moves together!

Our hallway tree has grown apples, that we painted and cut out!  

We learned about tree rings, and how they tell us the age of a tree.  We also painted using sliced apples, with their natural star design of seeds!

In Healthy Snack Group, we made our own flower lollipops!

We also painted flowerpots for Mother's Day!

Music Class always gets us moving, especially when we play instruments outside!

We also had an award ceremony, featuring Spikes from the Red Wings!  Congratulations to Anah for her artwork trophy!

Two weeks have flown by since Spring Recess!

We hope everyone had a wonderful vacation.

Back in the classroom, we are studying things that grow.

We raised our own classroom butterflies, which started out as caterpillars!

We also did an experiment, to see what would happen if we put fresh flowers into colored water.

Soon, the flowers drank the colored water, and it changed the color of their petals!

We also painted a giant tree for the hallway!

Soon the tree was crawling with life, including squirrels, birds, tree frogs, and lizards.

Healthy Snack Group is always preparing something new, like cucumber dipped into hummus with fresh veggies!

We also created a fresh fruit salsa, that we ate with cinnamon tortilla chips!

Our class enjoyed participating in the School's afternoon basketball game, and cheerleading!

 We also had fun on a recent field trip to the Harley School!

While many students went to work out in the Harley School's garden, some enjoyed the art room, working with clay and painting with watercolors.

Also, congratulations to Chaya for getting her Junior Blackbelt!  We got to watch the ceremony on the Smartboard!
