The Rain Forest Puppet Show

The first graders worked hard creating this puppet show. First they each chose an animal from the Amazon rain forest using books and the Internet. Then together we wrote a script using all of the animals as characters.

 Luckily the 7th graders came to help us add embellishments to the puppets using hot glue guns. 

After painting the scenery, we recorded our voices reading the script. Voila, we were able to perform in front of each class in the school as well as parents and class friends like Mr. Favreau.

Here is the video of the performance.

(Working on adding it here.)

Mr. Favreau came to listen to our stories.

High on a Hill was a Lonely Goatherd

Stuffed Animal Day

Our favorite "furry" friends spent the day with us.

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.
