I am a scientist.

This week in science, we learned all about what science is and what scientists do. We learned about many different kinds of scientists, such as doctors, architects, engineers, botanists, paleontologists, marine biologists, volcanologists, meteorologists, and many more! After learning about these scientists, we wrote about which kind of scientist we might like to be someday and then drew pictures of ourselves working in that field. The students did a great job! I will post student work soon.

Sam and Mason's 5th Birthday

We celebrated Sam and Mason's 5th birthday at school on Friday. Their dad brought in cupcakes and juice. The kids thought this was "the best day ever"!

Math Time!

We have been learning how to write and identify numbers to 10; count to 20; sort by size, shape,and color; identify 11 basic colors; and identify basic shapes (circle, square, rectangle, triangle).

Just a reminder, we have a post-test over these math skills on Friday, September 9.

Amelia and Sam writing their numbers to 10.


Blake, Coltin, and Landon practice their number identification and counting skills.

Reading Eggs

We learned how to play Reading Eggs in the computer lab today! It is so much fun (and GREAT reading practice)!

Dog Pound

Each Friday, our class visits the Highland "Dog Pound". If we have had good behavior throughout the week, we get to "shop". We get to choose from games, schol supplies, clothing, shoes, snacks, toys, and more.

Recess Time!

We love the playground!
