FEATURED CLASSROOM: No. 7
Ms. Hodges and Ms.Austin
Jambo! As the year winds down Classroom 7 is continuing to explore the continent of Africa. We have learned some of the many different languages, customs, cultures, and animals that are indigenous to this part of the world. Do you know the name of the intricate headpiece women wear in Africa and why they wear them? Do you know how to tell a female ostrich from a male ostrich? Or do you know what ... [More]
FEATURED CLASSROOM: No. 8
Mrs. Rosen and Mrs. Flowers
Classroom 8 is showing signs of spring. The children drew wonderful
still life drawings of irises and our spring tree has changed from
buds into leaves made of green handprints.
We have begun learning about the ocean and sea creatures. This past
winter, we learned how to tell if something is alive. At a recent
circle time, the children were excited to tell us about how they knew
sea c... [More]
FEATURED CLASSROOM: No. 11
Ms. Santiago and Mrs. Davis
After completing the transportation unit, we decided to venture out to the ocean and sea. During our journey through the deep blue, we explored different types of fish and a variety of sea life. We also learned about the five layers of the ocean. We created a large mural of the sea and made various sea creatures to add to it. Using paper mache to make porcupine fish and squid was messy fun! W... [More]
FEATURED CLASSROOM: No. 12

Classroom 12 has been on a wonderful journey. We took a dive through the

within it. Some of our favorite things were creating our ocean life mural

children investigated sea shells by size, shape, and color, as well as starfish and coral at the scienc... [More]
FEATURED CLASSROOM: No. 13
Ms. Cassale and Ms. Caccavale
Classroom 13 is very glad to feel the spring weather slowly but surely arriving. We are currently learning about the friendly creatures who live in the water. Whales have been one of our favorite "sea animals" to explore. We discussed that killer whales or orcas are members of the dolphin family. As a large group, we created a life size mural of a calf or baby whale. First, we measured its t... [More]
FEATURED CLASSROOM: No. 14
Ms. Waugh and Mrs. Alonso
Welcome spring! We cant believe the end of the year is approaching. Time has flown by so quickly.
Once we ended our unit on The Body we jumped into Bears and hibernation. The dramatic play area was transformed into a bears forest. We all brought our favorite bears to school and we sorted, compared and described the bears to each other. We made bear shaped cakes and had a bear picni... [More]
FEATURED CLASSROOM: No. 16
Mrs. Ashe and Mrs. Knight
Classroom 16 has enjoyed a wonderful year filled with many different activities. It is very hard to believe that the end of the year is drawing near. We have just completed our space unit which was out of this world. The children really enjoyed learning many new facts about space. We constructed a spaceship in our dramatic play area and made spacesuits to travel all around the universe. We turne... [More]
