We love Choice Time!

Our Home Living area turned into an Animal Hospital a few weeks ago. We love to pretend play!
Jackson has some sick animals.
Damien waits patiently in the waiting area.
Dr. David helps Luke with his sick dog.
Dr. Drew checks in the sick animals.Dr. David gives a shot to a sick dog.
Dr. Noah helps Damien's dog.
Maja pays her bill. How much was that? Worth it!Some kids like to play with the Polly Pockets at Choice Time.


Here is a group playing school.
Miss Maja must be the teacher.
Katie and Jordyn playing with the blocks.

We love the Computer Lab!

Almost everyone can log on to their computer
in the lab without help! Yeah!


Here is Mrs. Raven. She is the "boss" of
the computer lab. She is a great help to all of us!
Here is Mrs. Raven helping Jackson find a fun reading game.

We are becoming Minnesota Experts!

We are learning about the state symbols of Minnesota. We are making a book about them. Watch for them to come home soon!

We are becoming Minnesota Experts!

The Minnesota State bird is the loon. We watched some real loons on youtube.com to see what they looked like and sounded like. Next we colored a setting for our loon in our Minnesota Book.
Here are a few samples!

We are becoming Minnesota Experts!

Today we learned that the Minnesota State Rock is the agate. First we looked at some real agates.Then we wrote the sentence for our book.
Here we are painting our agates.
Wow! They turned out super!


MUD!

We read a book about Mud and then this poem that had the same words as the book. First we circled all the Lifetime Words we could find. Next we did our own illustrations.
We have some GREAT artists in our room!
Last, we painted the mud!
Mud, mud, everywhere!
The illustrated poems will be added to our "Poetry and Songs" book that will come home at the end of the school year.
