Spring is here!
All week we have been discussing signs of spring. Today we completed sentence frames that started with: I know it is spring because........... I was so impressed with the job they did I wanted to share them with you.
I will put these together and bind them to make a class book and put it in the basket labeled classroom publishing. I pass out these books at the end of the year and everyone gets to take home around 3 books we "published." The difference in their work from the beginning of the year is amazing!

Birds! Birds! Birds!
We have had so much fun learning about the birds we may see in our backyard over the last couple of weeks. We read many fiction and non-fiction books about birds and learned facts about them. We also enjoyed seeing videos and hearing the songs and calls of the different birds we learned about.
This is the great website we went to to see videos and hear the birds.

Happy bird watching!
