Happy Birthday Gigi!

Our day was great! The weather was beautiful and we had a awesome time celebrating Gigi's birthday!

We worked on some of the 100th day activities we didn't get to finish yesterday and went to music class.

Don't forget, tomorrow is pajama day!

We also had a visit from Thunder, the mascot from the Lake Elsinore Storm! He came to tell us about the reading program they have for kids! When the kids read ten books, they can win two free tickets to a storm game :)
 More information will be going home tomorrow.

We did count make tasty fruit loop necklaces with 100 fruit loops and awesome hats with ten groups of ten.

We had a special visit from Zero the Hero and he helped us celebrate by giving us a cape and a special coin!

Tomorrow will be Gigi's birthday and she will be bringing pizza for lunch! Yum!

Penguin Fun

What a beautiful day it was today! We actually got a little warm during PE time :)

For math time, we played the game Hungry Hungry Penguins. Each student got to roll the dice and put that many fish on their ten frames. When they hit 20 fish they got to say "hungry, hungry penguin" and eat their fish :)

We finished our penguin science projects today. On Monday we talked about that one of the reasons penguins stay warm is because they have blubber. We did a science project to see just how warm blubber can be. Today we learned that the other thing that penguins have to help them keep warm is oil in their feathers. So we put a little Vaseline on our hands and stuck them in cold water to see how it feels.

Rainy Day Fun

We had a fun filled day today!
Our day started with Presli's star of the day. She brought her cat for us to see :)

Then we continued to work on our non-fiction penguin book.

We ended our day with art time. We are working on a snow scene picture.
