Land that I Love!

On Monday and Tuesday last week we learned about different places in America. Monday we learned about the Statue of Liberty and other monuments in our country. The students then made themselves look like the statue. 





Much cuter than the Statue of Liberty!

On Tuesday we learned about different land masses in America, like mountains, lakes, oceans, and caves. We discussed what all was in cave like stalactites, stalagmites, and bats (eek!). We worked on our sculpting skills then by making caves out of Playdough.  






Thursday was the day we celebrated Valentines day. We worked all week on cards to give to residents at our local nursing home. This led to a lot of discussion about loving those who need love the most. The trip to the nursing home was a such a blessing. The students were so caring when giving their cards to the residents, and we ended the visit with singing some Sunday School songs. 

We ended our Valentine's day by having a party! We played a few Valentine's themed games. My Valentine to the students was a big ice cream bar! It was delicious! 






You know it's good stuff when they're too busy eating to look at the camera!

Last week was also Random Acts of Kindness week. It was so much fun to sneak presents into other students lockers. It was also fun to receive presents too! On Thursday we shared who we were giving presents to all week. It is always fun to do things together as a whole school!


Coming up...
This week we started to learn more about science like day and night, seasons, and hot and cold. We have some fun experiments planned! Also, I plan on sending progress reports this week through email, so keep an eye out!
