The last couple of weeks have been filled with fun and learning.

We finished up our studies of whales and ocean life.

For Presidents' Day, we read about our nation's presidents, from George Washington to Barack Obama!   

We also finger-painted trees of cherry blossoms, in memory of the folklore that Washington cut down his father's cherry tree, and then later admitted it, because he was so darn honest!

In Healthy Snack Group, we made some terrific trail mix, with nuts, raisins, chocolate chips, banana chips, and popcorn.  It is sure to be a hit on your next camping trip!

Last week we celebrated the birthday of Dr. Seuss!

We enjoyed a few of his books, and of course we whipped up our own authentic batch of green eggs and ham, in Healthy Snack Group!

We made photo-holders, for the students to see their smiling faces, inside an appetizing green egg!




































The daily papers are always delivered with a smile!



















Our class has been enjoying a new set of laptops, that make it a blast to read electronic books, with full audio accompaniment!

 And we always look forward to a good jam session in Music Class!

We hope everyone has enjoyed February break, and we are looking forward to getting back in the swing of things!

Before vacation, our class has been helping out in the cafe, by the school's entrance!  Would you like a bagel or some coffee?


































There is also newspaper delivery to help out with!  We never knew it would be so much fun to be a paperboy!



















In the classroom, we have continued studying ocean habitats, including humpback whales!

We also had fun playing the Migration Game on the Smartboard!

We created our own whales out of paper plates that we painted blue!  

We also made a splash in the hallway, as we measured the size of a humpback whale!

The occasional stretch-break helps us stay flexible and energized!

For Healthy Snack Group, we made Pink Fluff!  Yum!

In Music Class, we practiced our dance moves!

And of course, one of the highlights of the week was the Valentine's Dance!
