Ocean Project, Family Gardening Event

A lot has been going on in the classroom the last couple of weeks.  Parent Conferences, spring fever, getting ready for our big family event Friday night, all while practicing our sign language song with our next-door-neighbors.  Whooo!  We are busy!



We have started a study on ocean animals and we are enjoying it so much that I think this one will last awhile.  Right now we are researching sharks and our friends are bringing things from home that have to do with all kinds of sharks.  Several friends have drawn various sharks (and other ocean animals) for our big board, painted by our class.  As you might know (or you might not), the ocean has several zones, the sunlit zone, the twilight zone, and the midnight zone.  There are a couple of more, but not many animals live there so we are concentrating on these three.  Each child is making some type of sea creature (their choice) and adding it to the zone it belongs in.  So far, so good.  Everyone is interested in this, and once we started adding animals, everybody wants in.

 
 
 
 This is our class quilt that we raffled off at our event.  Each child chose the fabric for their handprints and we love it....
