More indoor recess fun!

Mini Field Trip

Last week we took a little "field trip" to the middle school social studies class. The teacher, Ms. May, had a poster of Martin Luther King Jr. that I wanted the kids to see. The eighth graders got to talk to the kids about MLK and then we asked some questions. We stumped them when someone asked how many times he said "I have a Dream" in his famous speech. We already knew the answer though and taught it to the eighth graders....it was 9 times!

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR

We celebrated Chinese New Year by making paper lanterns for the Festival of Lanterns. We also did some writing where we said that

2011 is the year of the rabbit. Some kids in our class (those born in 2004 and Ms. Baker) were born in the year of the monkey while others (those born in 2005) were born in the year of the rooster.

SUPERBOWL XLV

We made a class graph as to who we thought would win the Superbowl! Most kids picked the Steelers but when we came to school on Monday about 3/4 of the class was saying they were excited because they really wanted the Packers to win. Hmmm...
