Finishing Up Our Projects Today!

Human Rights Boxes

 Every Child Has The Right To Play!

Today we were working on our "Human Rights" boxes. Everyone has now painted their boxes! All of us painted images that represented the human right we chose. Inside our boxes we are adding plasticine representations of our rights. In this picture Tydus chose "Every Child Has the Right to Play"!

Every Child Has The Right to a Family!

This is Kim's box that she painted. She made all the members of her family with plasticine. They are even sitting on chairs!

Inquiry Time

 Blue Whales and Fish

Today we were finishing our Inquiry Projects! Here is a picture of Hannah's T-Rex project! She chose to study dinosaurs. She is trying to hold up the tree she made! On Friday we will start sharing what we learned with the class!

We Have A Lot To Post About!

 Today we named our new fish Orangy!!! Our new fish is gold and orange.  We noticed our fish likes to stare at people. When he is playing, he/she likes to sink, float back up and do it again! Our fish likes to swim around in circles. Orangy is happy in his/her new tank. Do you know if our fish is a girl or boy? The type of fish we got is a goldfish. Orangy is colourful and we have fun with him or her!

Our Special Guests!!

This morning we had two special guests! Mrs. Deneka's class brought us these two chicks to share for a little while. If you look very close you can see eyelashes. Their names are "Pipsqueak and Peep". They feel very silky. The one that is black and white is Pipsqueak and the brown and grey one is Peep. On their heads it looks like a triangle. If you look very, very closely, you can see nails that come out of their toes.  They have four toes. One is dark and one is light. It looks like Peep is trying to fly. They are Silkie Hens. Their beaks move up and down when they chatter. The chicks are really warm! We loved having them in our class!
