We were lucky to have Amy Keisel come in last Thursday and entertain your daughters as our Mystery Reader.
Our Gingerbread unit is back on track and the girls love hearing and completing various activities with the different variations of the story of the gingerbread man. Here they are using a Venn Diagram to compare The Gingerbread Man to The Gingerbread Girl. We also read The Gingerbread Cowboy today and the girls used gingerbread men to measure different distances around the room.
We began our latest science unit on penguins. The girls used a world map today to highlight where in the world you can find penguins in their natural habitat. We also did an experiment on how penguins stay warm in extremely cold climates. Make sure you ask your daughters what penguins have that keeps them warm and how they experienced it in class! Sorry there are no pictures, but it was a very hands-on project for the teachers :-)
