Dr. Seuss Fun

We have had a fun week of celebrating and reading books written by Dr. Seuss.  We had crazy hat day. pajama day, crazy sock day, and  had a birthday party for Dr. Seuss on Friday, March 2nd.

Bald Eagle

We have been learning about American symbols in our study of Presidents and America.  We learned that the bald eagle is the bird of our country.  Mrs. Rider shared a link to a live eagle nest cam.  We have had so much fun watching the eagle take care of her eggs.  She has laid 3 eggs, the last egg was laid on Feb. 24 and it takes 30-35 days for the eggs to hatch.  Keep watching as they may hatch during Spring Break.

THE AFTER CHRISTMAS TREE

During the winter break, Mr. Blanck went to the tree recycling center at McDonald Commons and picked out a nice tree and put it outside our classroom. Upon returning from winter break we read the story, THE AFTER CHRISTMAS TREE by Linda Wagner Tyler.  This books tells a story about a family decorating their tree with bird feeders for the birds. We made bird feeders using Crisco and bird seed and then hung them on the tree. The birds are enjoying the treats.
