Yarn Dolls Today Mrs. DeLisle (Cali's mom) was kind of enough to do a project with the kiddos. Cali chose to make a yarn doll(s) for her Pioneer Project. She did a great job presenting to us about how and why the pioneer children used these and then brought supplies for everyone in class to make one of their own! How fun!? Below is a picture of the kiddos holding/making their yarn dolls. After this presentation, I am so excited to see the other Pioneer Projects! 

We practiced doing area and perimeter earlier this week by designing the "blue prints" of our DREAM houses. The students got to put their imaginations to work while also doing some math! What fun!? Today we made our models come to life by buildings them with toothpicks and marshmallows! They LOVED it!

Our class will be visiting the book fair on Wednesday, March 2nd, 2016 from 9:30-10am. 

Here an action shot of all the jumping our kiddos did  today! What fun!?!? Thank you to all of those who donated and raised money/awareness for such a great cause. :) 'Jumping Like a Cane!' 'Caring Like a Cane!'  Mr. Vesel kindly took a few videos, too! He is going to share them with me, so hopefully I can get them posted!

We love doing yoga as a brain break! The kiddos are laying in 'corpse pose' while listening to some calming and relaxing music.
