Weeks 32 & 33

The past two weeks have been exciting here in Mrs. P.'s class! Over the course of the past month, students have been learning about seeds and gardening with Miss Jeanne, a student teacher our classroom welcomed in the beginning of May. After reading a sequencing story about gardening, students had the chance to put their lesson to work by planting their own strawberry plants in the school garden and potting their own cosmo flowers in small containers. Each day students have been working as a team to tend to their garden and flowers with water and care, transporting water to the plants to help them grow.

We have also been busy learning about this month's country and sport, England and equestrianism! In SPOT group this week, students made a healthy, British snack: tea and strawberry-banana creamcheese sandwiches! Students worked together to prepare lemonade (as seasoned professionals, from last summer's lemonade stand) and make mini-sandwiches, amounting to one fabulous British tea party, Mrs. P. style!

Check out the wonderful work students have been doing in ceramics class! Our work in ceramics has only improved as the year has progressed, and every student should be proud of their patience and hard work.
