Recent Events: Dinosaur Guy, Acrostic Poetry, Show and Tell, and Catapults

So much has been happening lately.  Here are pictures from the last week (ish).


Acrostic poetry
We tried a new writing style.  The kids wrote spring acrostic poems.  They did a really great job with these.  They are currently on display in the classroom.  Thank you, Mrs. G. for helping with this writing project.

We were treated to an exciting dinosaur event.  The kids got to see actual dinosaur fossils, including the baby t-rex skull shown in the picture.  We then climbed inside the inflatable dome to watch a very cool and informative slideshow.  The kids were very well behaved and engaged.

Thank you to Mrs. Fisher for organizing a fun conclusion to our study of dinosaurs.  The kids got to create dinosaur eggs with little toy dinosaurs inside.  Mrs. Fisher took the eggs home and baked them and brought them back the next day for the kids to crack open.

 Catapults

We had another team-wide Challenge Friday event.  The kids got to choose from 7 activities.  My session was Marshmallow Launching.  The kids got materials and created catapults.  Marshmallows were flying everywhere.  A few Camp Kinderponders were in my session.

Here are a few picts from the tally celebration.  The kids earned 10 ten tally marks for good behavior as a class.  They voted to bring toys to school and have show and tell.
