We are back to work!

The past two weeks we have been so busy!  Check out all the projects we have been working on below!

Last Friday, we created our own version of a Flower Family!

We added to our outside bulletin board!  Our butterflies came out on Monday, so we spent all day studying butterflies!  We were able to see the whole process zoomed in under the document camera.  It was really amazing that all of the students were able to see such a tiny process at the same time! We are also talking about symmetry this week, and butterflies have symmetry as well!  Check out our symmetrical butterflies below!

We continued our study with butterflies by looking at their whole life cycle. 

 Today, we worked on our Symmetry City!!  This was so such a fun project!  The level of creativity and engagement hit a record in Room 4 this morning!  I was loving hearing the top level of thinking.  The students were creating, engaged, cooperating, interacting with others, working together, and analyzing. WOW!  If you ask me... this is learning!

Next week we will study PLANTS!  We will kick off Monday by planting our own seeds.  Tuesday we have a field trip to Hatcher Garden!

Welcome Back from Spring Break!

The week before Spring Break we had our school play "Alice in Wonderland."  If you've ever been to a Christie Smith performance you know they are much more that a typical school play.  They are a school production!!  There were almost 300 children in the play this year!  These plays are extra special to me, since when I was a student at Pine Street I was in several of Christie's productions!

We also attended the Chapman Cultural Center for Peter and the Wolf!  Here we are getting ready for the ballet...

 

Last week was our Spring Break!  I've loved hearing all the stories from Spring Break already this morning!  My week was filled with...

BASEBALL!!  My brother, Mercer, plays for the Spartanburg Vikings!  They played wonderfully in the Bogangles Tournament.  GO #13!!!!!!!!

Watching the caterpillars....

Now we will wait for them to become butterflies!!

Spent lots of time with my sweet Sully at the lake!

And saw the most beautiful sunrise with a rainbow on Easter morning!

We are ready to get back into the groove of school!
This week we will be studying ICE CREAM!!!!!!!!!!

Happy Spring!
