Birds, Mice and Ladybugs!

During the week before our February break we reconnected with Juli from the Winooski Parks Department for a winter bird walk.  As in the fall, Juli worked with Ms. Garland's class and ours together, first in the classroom and then outside to help us learn about how birds survive in the winter and what we as humans can do if we want to observe them. 

Later in the week we had a ton of fun with our big buddies rising to the challenge making birds (and other figures) with Tangrams!

And now about the mice...I should really say three"versions" of our most favorite mouse, Frederick!  Here you can see three classmates entertaining the crew with a Frederick puppet show.

To round out this post, have a look at our latest math game with Mrs. Lamphier- the Ladybug Race.  After the break we're going to use the "winning number" results to learn a bit about probability.
