Opposites & Groundhogs

Wow!!! What a warm week! Needless to say we haven’t been able to build our ice sculpture...our colored ice is colored water right now.

Monday we made an edible porcupine after reading the book called, A Porcupine Named Fluffy.

 
We painted a magic picture on Tuesday...the light crayon message was written on light paper and then we painted it with dark colors. Did you see the secret message? 

On Wednesday, we made another picture of ourselves for our “Person” books that you will receive at the end of the year. The details that we are seeing in the drawings compared to the beginning of the year are amazing!

Thursday we made groundhogs with shadows in celebration of Groundhog Day.


Jimmy the Groundhog did not see his shadow so there should be an early spring. If it had been the OPPOSITE...if Jimmy did see his shadow, then we would have 6 more weeks of winter. We also wore our PJs to school as part of our opposite week! 
One friend brought in a cute groundhog treat for us! Teddy grahams popping out of mini muffins. Thank you!
Valentine/Friendship Party Coming Soon!
If your child hasn’t already brought in his/her valentines and mailbox, please bring them in sometime next week. Please have your child write ONLY his/her name on each valentine. We have 20 friends in each class.
