Budding Artists

My mother, a florist by trade and an avid jewelry designer was recently cleaning out her beading materials. When she asked me if I wanted a "few" beads for school I of course thought that the kids would love them. When I found out that it was 3 baskets full of various beads I knew the kids were going to go crazy! I was right! They were so excited to check out the "real jewels."  Some made them

For themselves, some for their mom. There were necklaces and bracelets and just some really creative projects. Here are some pictures of their designs!

Teach Me How to...

I think it is important to give students opportunities to "teach" each other the steps or directions for different procedures. Here are two new short videos of them teaching in our Writing and Reading Workshop.

Happy Teeth!

Today we had a very special guest!! We were so lucky to learn all about teeth and how to keep them healthy with Mrs. Vanderlip. We played a game, sang some songs and learned all about how to keep our teeth healthy and clean! 

We practiced brusing and flossing and go to check out all of the tools a dentist uses!

Thank you Mrs. Vanderlip!
