Rain, Rain Go Away!




March is the perfect month to learn about weather. In that past month we've had golden sunshine and 70 degrees, 30 degree snowstorms, and lots of rain.
We had six weather related centers. One of the centers allowed us to create a weather map. The bottom picture shows a weather map being created using PowerPoint. April is a great month for kite flying. We decorated our own kites. The top picture shows an example of a meteorologist in action.
Miss Naumann read one of her favorite books Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. What food would you want to fall from the sky?

SMART




We have been sneaking into Mrs. Holm's room to use the SMART board. If you are unfamiliar, it is like a giant touch screen computer. So far we've used it to practice counting money, buying items, reading number words and many other things. We really like learning with new technology.
