Treasure Town!

We have been reading Treasure Town, an entertaining chapter book about some friends who love to dig! As a special treat, we met Doug Wilhelm and Sara Lee Terat - the author and illustrator of the book!

They talked to us about the process of writing and illustrating a book. Doug read a chapter of the book to us and Sara Lee showed us some illustrations. Then we got to share our own story ideas for the next book as Sara Lee illustrated.

Morning Choice

Morning choice is always a great time for kids to work and play together. Sometimes they create something wonderful they want to remember and request a photo! 

Here are two groups of kids showing off their creations!

Moon Unit

We have been studying the Earth, Moon, and Sun! Lately, we've been focusing a lot on the moon and its eight phases. Every night, we've had a Moon Watcher observe the night sky, record the moon phase, and report out the next day. We learned a lot about the length of each phase and how the moon slowly changes. We also learned about the names of the phases and what each phase looks like. Please ask your scientist for more details!

 

During our Valentine's Day Party, some of these highly creative scientists were inspired by the oreos. They began to make moon phases by eating parts of the oreos! What an amazing bunch of thinkers!
