Look what's growing!

Well, we are of course! Here we are last week with Kindergarten sharing a collaborative lesson on healthy choices using our weekly reader on the Smart board.




In celebration of Spring and St. Patrick's Day we began our unit by exploring our beautiful outdoor garden with a lesson on plants. We made our own "leprechaun grass" by planting grass seeds in cups. 





Also this week we started learning about Dinosaurs in preparation for our trip to the Science Museum next week. We worked in small groups to research on the computer different types and describe them and learn some fun facts about their names and what they mean.






And the most exciting part of our week was learning about leprechauns and building our traps! On Thursday we shared our ideas with our classmates and wrote wonderful stories about what we would do if we actually caught a leprechaun! We had some great ideas!






And although we were visited by a very mischievous leprechaun he escaped our traps to return another year!
