Tie Dye in Art

Today was our day to make tie dye shirts in Art, thanks to Mrs. White's expertise and the generosity of the PTA. Students will wear these on Field Day, I can't wait to see the finished product.

Last year in Kindergarten, students made shirts with red and blue. In first grade the students used red and yellow. Any predictions on what they will do in second grade? 

 
We had lots of volunteers helping today, thank you so much!

Outdoor observations

Today we began our science unit in living things. After reading about what a living thing is (it grows and changes, needs air, water, food and usually sunlight, and it has a life cycle) we went out to observe and record living and non-living things.

Planting seeds

This week we read a story called 'How a Seed Grows'. Each student planted either sunflower or pumpkin seeds and we will be observing their growth over the next few weeks. During the planting process students took over as photographers. Take a look at the process!














Lunch in the classroom

When we lost power on April 15th, we had lunch in the classroom. What an unexpected treat!
