Just Like Mike

Aloha family and friends of our P2 clan!

Last week all the kids read a book called "Penguins All Around". We also finished our chapter book of "Mr. Popper's Penguins". So I decided to see if they could take what we learned in those two books to support their opinion on whether or not we should get a penguin for a class pet. They came up with some really great points!

This week we have been reading all about how animals survive in nature. As our final project the kids made dioramas to show an animal in its habitat. 

The kids worked in pairs and collaborated really well together!

And created some great final projects!

On Friday everyone was given a new "name" for the day. We all wore name tags that were a doubles or a doubles minus one fact. We had to call each other by our sums all day! I was Mrs. 22 (11+11), and here we have ten, eleven, twenty, and fifteen.

We also did a really cool art project on Friday! The kids learned about Michelangelo and how he painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The kids got to create their own piece of art work just as Michelangelo would have created his! (Don't worry... we all cleaned the floor before we started!)

The kids had a lot of fun creating their masterpieces while upside down!

What magnificent creations!

We are continuing to raise money for our Dolphin Quest field trip. We have currently raised over $60!!! For this to be a completely free field trip we need to raise a total of $165. You can continue to donate HI5 products until the beginning of April. Mahalo for all of your support!

I hope that you all have a fun, safe, and restful spring break!
