Andrew's Teepee

While tracking animal prints during 4 Winds we came upon Andrew the Gardener's teepee just over the hillside outside our backdoor. We were all quite intrigued and really, really wanted to explore it more inside and out, but . . . we would have destroyed all the fresh animal tracks. A snow shower that night covered all the animal tracks so we decided to make tracks of our own straight to the teepee for Aidan's birthday celebration! We read 2 great books that both ended as "cliff hangers". Thanks Andrew for constructing such an awesome teepee!

February 7, 2010 - 100th Day of School

The 100th day of school was a day of celebration. All throughout the day we found ways to honor Zero the Hero! Poetry, stories, Fruit Loop necklaces, dividing 100 gummy penguins and Goldfish crackers evenly between everyone in the class and in small groups, hats with 100 stars, cootie catchers, collectively reading 100 books, and counting to 100 by 1's, 2's, 5's, and 100's on the interactive 100's grid on the Smart Board. It certainly was a day to remember!
