Learning about our natural world with Carrie Riker

Students pretended to be coyotes using their scent to find the baby pups.

Luckily the parents left a scented trail !

Here is an example of where the baby pups were hidden.

100th Day of School

Wednesday was the 100th day of school. Here is what students brought from home to display 100.

Even Mrs.Boucher joined in the fun.

Catholic Schools Week

I did not take as many pictures as I should have during this week. I think we were just too busy enjoying it to pull out the camera. But here are a few snapshots of some of the events.

Our first day was "red, white and blue right down to your shoe!"

For our secret buddies, we said prayers, decorated their room with smiley faces, gVe them apples and a card. On the first day, they let us borrow their therapy balls to sit on.

All week we worked together decorating the door. We used the song of "Mercy is falling" as our theme.

On Tuesday the entire school worked together to make bread. While it was rising, my group made decorations for the Pirate Proncess Dance.

On Thursday we dressed up as book characters.

Here are Dorothy and a munchkin.

We had 2 Cats in the Hats!

Can you find Little Red Riding Hood, Lucy from Narnia, Sophia from her ballet lesson or a Ninja?

Unfortunately our "outdoor fun day" had to be held indoors. Here are some kindergarteners who came and played twister with us.

New hopes and dreams

Now that it is a new year, we have changed our hopes and dreams from the beginning of the year. We design New Years Party hats to display these hopes.

We made a mess doing this.

But we managed to clean up for some phonics practice.

Here's how they all look now.

 

Reading With Third Grade

On Thursdays our class partners up with third graders in order to practice reading.

Christmas Disco Party!

The class earned a prize and they chose a disco party. Here are some of the first grade disco dancers!

Granny Snow, famous Vermont author, came to visit us today.

She read 3 books from her Silas Series.

And, she taught us a lot about how books are made.

Thank you Granny Snow!!!
