Fun with senses

In science we have been learning about our five senses. Today we focused on our sense of hearing. We made "super" listening ears headbands and went on a listening walk. The kids really enjoyed searching and listening to things they could hear all around them! We thought they looked so cute with their big ears on! 

First weeks of school

We started learning how to use our iPads today. The class really loved working in partners and exploring the apps! We hope to teach and do a lot of fun things with them this year! 

This week we have also been learning all about letters, more specifically the letters in our names. We read Chicka-Chicka- Boom-Boom and matched alphabet letters on the tree as well as making our own names in the trees. The kids really liked sticking on the glittery letters. 

Welcome 2015-16 school year!!

We have had a great first week of school! We have enjoyed getting to know all of our new kiddos and can't wait to see where this year takes them all! They are already becoming fast friends! Here are some pictures of our first days at recess. 

Valentine's for Staff Members

Today we listened to the story, Somebody Loves You Mr. Hatch and then chose staff members to write valentines for. The kids had so much fun choosing and writing special staff members at our school that help us each and every day. 

Learning About the Seasons

This week we are learning about the four seasons. Today, students worked with a partner to create a scene on the iPads using the app Feltboard. The students chose a season and created a realistic scene for that season. After much discussion, we all decided we wish we could have some REAL snow fall in Friendswood. 😄
