March

What a great job the students did at the spring concert.  I was so very proud of them and they all looked so nice!

Last week one of our activities was to arrange some of our sight words to make some sentences.  They came up with some fantastic sentences and did a wonderful job writing them.  They have come such a long way with their sentence structures.

We are so fortunate at Mid-Prairie to have access to several forms of technology.  One of those resources is being able to travel to different places and learn through Google expeditions.  In our Benchmark Literacy Curriculum our theme last week was a non-fiction book on Animals in their Habitats and how they adapt to live.  Through the google expeditions we were able to see several different habitats including a jungle, wetlands, desert, grass fields, etc.  This led to a great discussion about what kinds of animals live there and how they survive.   When we were finished with that I took them to the ocean and they were able to see sharks and we ended at the San Diego Zoo.  They were so engaged and loved this experience.  I hope they shared some of this with you!

Ashlee was our PBIS winner this week and she choose to walk Bowie at recess.  He picked up a glove along the way.  :)

We painted some kites that will be used to decorate the school to help us feel more springy!

I hope you all saw your child's post on SeeSaw with the rainbow coins.  I wasn't sure how this would go because there were several steps but I was so impressed how independently they completed this activity.  They choose some sight words to type on the coins then recorded themselves reading the words.  I was very proud of them!
