We read a book entitled, The School Mural.  We enjoyed making our own mural on the side of our building using sidewalk chalk.  We were proud artists....

Dino-Mite Dinosaurs

DINO-MITE RESEARCH PROJECTS

  We have been working hard to gather information on the different dinosaurs that lived during the three periods in the Mesozoic Era:  Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous Periods.

We used two different sources to locate and gather information for our research projects.  Once we finished the note-taking stage, we entered our information into the PREZI.COM website that is used to present information to an audience.  We enjoyed the process, learned lots, and are eager to share our findings with you.  Enjoy some pictures of us hard at work.  Then, click on the link to find out more about our dino-mite dinosaurs!

The Ants Go Marching...

The Ants Go Marching...

The Shawnee County Extension Office delivered an ant habitat with approximately 30 worker ants to our classroom.  Through the next two weeks we will be observing the working habits of ants, studying their life cycle, and learning more about the underground cities they create and the rooms where the work is done.  We feed and water them every three days and illustrate our observations as they create new tunnels in their anthill.  The following pictures show us searching for ant colonies on the school playground. We see ants everyday...but we are finding that we see them so very differently now!  Such hardworkers...such great team mates!  There's so much we have in common with these tiniest of insects!
