Inventing Bugs

Bugs! Bugs! Bugs! We invented our own bugs and wrote stories over the last few days. They LOVED using their creativity and I was so impressed with what they came up with. Here are some pictures from some kids that shared their stories with the class.

Rockin' Rocks

This past week we learned all about rocks. The kids had a great time categorizing rocks by their features. I'm so impressed that they know what a rock's luster is. :) We also learned many interesting facts and painted rocks! Here are some pictures from our study.

Education Foundation Prize Patrol!!!

The education foundation came to our school today to award the teachers who wrote grants and were funded! This is always a very exciting event! some of the high school band comes as well as the mustang mascot members of the foundation. They bring balloons and big checks and we find out if some or all of our grants have been adopted! Well I am excited to say that thank you to many generous donations from individuals and companies we were awarded all of our grant for a total of $1,552.00!!! Which gives us a total of 5 new iPad minis and accessories in our class!! This is so exciting to us to now have a 2 to 1 ration of students to iPads! It allows us to do so much more with them in class! I hope that you have enjoyed hearing about and seeing some of the things we have done with the iPads so far in our class. We can't wait to go even further with them now! A big thank you to all our contributors and everyone who supports the education foundation! It truly helps provide us with the things we need to teach and change the world one kid at a time!! Here are some pictures from this morning! 

The total given to Cline this year! Over $16,000!!! 

Thank you education foundation!! 

FFA brings their animals

Today some atudents from the FFA brought some of their animals to show out kinder kids. They let them feed them, pet them, and told them about some of the things they do to take care of them. The kids really enjoyed beig able to see and touch the animals up close. They also remembered a lot of the facts we learned about some of these animals a few weeks ago when we did our group research projects on farm animals.
