The title of this post is a phrase we use in our classroom and I hope the pictures from last week will show we are doing just that!
For some time now we have been getting to know the characters, plots, vocabulary, and story structure of Arnold Lobel's classic Frog and Toad books. After watching a claymation video of some of the chapters, we became inspired. Here is some of our work...
On Wednesday we met up with Juli, our friend and bird expert from the Winnooski Parks Department for our third and final birding expedition. This time we left Orchard School at met Juli at Muddy Brook Park for a river trail hike and observation walk. We were lucky to see a Yellow Rumped Warbler and a Red Tailed Hawk!
Later in the week our fifth grade buddies helped us research accurate images of common Vermont birds so that we could color our guide books like scientists.
Lastly, if you haven't been outside the classroom lately than you may not have seen the individual and group projects that demonstrate the children's understanding of two recent units of study- conservation of our natural resources and plants as a food source. Below you will see our mural that explains how when it comes to vegetables... sometimes we eat the tops, sometimes the bottoms, and sometimes the middles! Hanging in front of the mural, you will also see our globe mobiles that communicate tips for how to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
