Spirit Week

Friday, March 16, 2012

Spirit week was a lot of fun and we all enjoyed dressing up in the Pre-K class, below you will see some of our great pictures.   Our Space unit is going really well and our Styrofoam models we painted and labeled are now on our bulletin board, please come take a look.  

We will be continuing our Space unit next week by taking a closer look at the planets.  Today we also made some more straw rockets with our buddies.  It was fun seeing how far our rockets would go.  In Math we are still investigating measurement and are starting very basic addition.   

Let’s all hope this sunny weather lasts, have a great weekend!
