The BUGS earned another 25 compliments and so we headed out in the snow for an extra recess!

It was a great day to be out celebrating our good manners, polite behavior choices and appropriate voice levels!

We had a GREAT time on Valentine's Day!  We had a lot of fun playing "Minute-to-Win-It" games with our friends!
Judah tries to get pasta onto his noodle without using his hands!

Nathan tries to get the cookie into his mouth!

Kegan was a very fast cup stacker!

Katelyn has amazing balance and could really stack those fruit loops!

Jayden mastered the art of making an M&M smiley face (just using a straw!)

Abby and Taylor try to build conversation heart towers!

Caleb entertained us all!

Drew hooked all the pasta!

Vanessa L. kept her balance while she giggled!

Mariela makes a smiley!

Blake aims his Q-tip as he auditions for Cupid's job!

Madelynn has quite the tower of hearts going!

Abby works on getting that cookie to her mouth!

It's harder than you think to get a Q-tip to land in a small square!!



Thank you to ALL the parents and families who donated ice cream sundae supplies!  I am very appreciative of all those who donated their time and energy to help with the games as well!  I could not have done it without you (truly!!)

We had a very special visitor in our classroom today and he brought several birds for us to see up close and personal!

We listened to their songs, whistles and calls!  They were all very different!

We saw a horned owl, listened to its call and learned about the raptor!

We saw owl pellets with bones from a mouse, vole, or other small animal inside!

We touched feathers and listened to how noisy turkey feathers are and how quiet owl feathers are!

We saw a mallard and learned why the male ducks have much more color than the females.

We saw a screech owl and learned how it catches its prey!

We saw a hummingbird and its nest!  They are both so tiny!

We also saw a picture of what hummingbird chicks look like when they are four days old.

We learned how important it is for hummingbirds to make their nests from spider webs!

Devin and Drew were both very into their new books!
