During the week, we celebrated H, I, J, K, and L. On H day, everyone wore hats. I Day was for Interesting Animals. Jumping Jacks and Jokes were done on J Day. On K Day, we played Kickball (our favorite recess pastime). And on L Day, we dressed for a Luau.
The week was also busy with two field trips. The Second Graders visited the zoo and the Third Graders went to McGraw Wildlife.
The zoo was tons of fun. We saw the newly opened bear exhibit!
The Third Graders learned a lot at McGraw Wildlife. They were scientists as they used nets to gather insects from the lake. By studying the insects, they found out if the lake was healthy or not. Check out all of the bugs they found!
Also at McGraw, the Third Graders learned about forest restoration. We learned that certain plants are invasive; they take over the forest and don't do much good. The Third Graders helped restore the forest by pulling some garlic mustard plants.
At the end of the day at McGraw, we met a special guest, a great horned owl. We learned about the adaptations that this raptor has to help it exist. What a fun day!
When we met with our buddies, we continued to share Readers' Theater.
