Even though the weather isn't springlike, our class has been thinking and writing about how Spring is supposed to be like! The class wrote 2 different poems. One used their senses to describe Spring and the other was saying goodbye to wintertime things and saying hello to springtime things.

In 10 days we may have 25 new classmates! These will be peeping and a ball of cuteness though. I candled the eggs after school today and was able to get some video of them moving around.

Our last day skating! Very slushy but nice and warm and fun, anyways!
Some students also did some bottle cap creations and block buildings.
The students used their prior knowledge to make a diagram after cracking open and observing a chicken egg and a duck egg. They were able to find all the parts of the egg we had discussed the previous day. We also discussed the differences between the 2 eggs that we had noticed. When we had finished they got to whip up the eggs and have scrambled eggs at the end of the day for a treat.
The class built and discussed the Anatomy of a Fertilized Egg. They used many different mediums for each part and labeled each part as we built the egg.

Since we got so much snow that week, we decided to go sledding and make huge snowmen! Snacks and creative organization of our supplies! We also tried to draw th Cat in the Hat.
Our Recy-cled was a success! Not only did it stay together but it was pretty fast and went straight down the hill. It sounded like a jet. The first and second graders worked hard to put it together with cardboard boxes, cardboard screws(Mrs. Hook had been able to get from a Donors Choose campaign), gorilla tape, 2 plastic table clothes, and 1 Over the Hill sign from my 40th birthday! Don't forget our secret weapon, Pam sprayed on the bottom right before launch.
Assembly listening to letter from Evan Dybvig(past Tunbridge Olympian) and watching video of his qualifying run. Ended with a s-shaped spirit path back to our classrooms to work on sleds and flags.
