This week we spent some great time on the trail on the way to the outdoor classroom getting distracted by all the awesome things to find like different trees. lichen, rocks, water in the creek, interesting bark, and sliding down the snowy hills. We are using our senses to explore everything around us and have fun together.
We celebrated the 100th day of school by counting 100 steps to see how far we got along the creek outside, made a poster with 100 people we love, made Hooray for 100 books and had fun checking out all the cool 100th day projects!
Students will exchange valentines in class on the 13th. I encourage making these (simple) to practice writing for independent study. Class list: Bea, Addyson, Jasper, Ingrid, Wes, Hunter, Emmett, Linnea, Adeline, Sienna, James, Landry, Emilia, Pearl, Ava (new student starting Monday)
