Hiking in the Great Outdoors!

What a wonderful afternoon we had at the Hartje center!  The kids had a great time exploring and looking at so many neat things!  Here is a short video of our day! Enjoy!

Digging up Dinos

We are finishing up some dino activities this week!  On Monday we went to the Smithsonian website and watched an interactive slide show on how dinosaur fossils are dug up.  Afterwards we tried our hand at digging out fossils!  Well, actually our fossils were chocolate chips and we dug them out with tooth picks!  But it still was a lot of fun!

Informational Writing---BEARS

We finished up our informational writing book on bears!  The kids worked super hard on these books and did a great job!  They loved being able to share them today with their friends and read to each other!  The books came home today in your child's folder.  Please take a few minutes to listen to their story and see how far they have come as authors!

Teddy Bear Day One

The kids enjoyed having their teddy bears coming to visit our classroom!  We sang with them, read stories to them, and danced with them!  They even played hide and seek while the kids were at music class.  The kiddos had to come hunt them down when they got back to the classroom!  During our math time we measured our teddy bears with cubes, links, and crayons!  Below are a few pictures of our measuring fun!  And at the end of the day we created a cave for the bears to hibernate in for the night!
