First Day of School

We had a wonderful first day of kindergarten!  Students enjoyed exploring pattern blocks in math.  They also had a great time on the playground.  They are already making new friends and learning about our classroom and school.

Observing Ants

We are scientists who observe the world around us.  This afternoon we observed ants.  We learned that ants can climb grass and trees.  We saw ants crawling in and out of ant holes.  Ants were busy carrying food and crawling all over the ground and plants.  We even noticed that there are different kinds of ants in our schoolyard.  Another thing we noticed is that ants are fond of Froot Loops. 

Field Trip to Barber Farm

We planted winter squash at Barber Farm today.

 

Field Day at RES

Thank you, Mr. G, for a great field day.   We loved all the activities!

Helicopter Landing

It finally happened!  A huge helicopter from the US Army National Guard landed on the field between CHMS and RES.  We had front row seats!  What an amazing experience. Thank you to G. Philip Vietje, a parent of a child in our class, and his coworkers for making today so incredible.  

Crazy Hair Day

We earned Crazy Hair Day today!  Our hair looked amazing!

Paquette Full of Posies and Conant Farm

We had great weather for our field trip today.  Sherry Davis, who works at RES and Paquette's,
taught us about the greenhouses and plants.  We learned how the plants get their needs met in the greenhouses.  Thank you, Ms. Davis, and Paquette's.  After visiting Paquette's we toured Conant's farm and had the opportunity to see the calves and cows.  We also saw the milking rooms, feed, and barns.  Thank you to the Conant family for welcoming us to their farm.  What a fun day!
