Ice cream party!

Here are the pictures from our outdoor ice cream party the first week of June.  The 3's class did a great job of putting their own toppings on their ice cream.  It was a fun afternoon!

Jordan is passing the marshmallows to a friend. :)

Maximilian is giving me a quick smile!

Very focused....

Olivia is checking out Eve's creation.

farmers market/ train park

Today the 3's class joined the rest of Joyful Noise for a trip to the farmer's market.   Miss Kelli prepared a scavenger hunt of different foods to find.

:)

They also visited the train park.

Maximilian is loving the ladybug!

Rowan and Jordan enjoyed riding the snail. :)

 

I wonder what they are looking at?

The big green slide looks like fun! 

Bryce likes to climb.

Ian is riding the 

snail.

We're going on a bug hunt

The 3's class went to Central school in search of bugs.  We brought magnifying glasses, binoculars, and small containers to transport the bugs.   The friends found a lot of worms and that afternoon they helped Miss Kelli B put them in the garden.  :)

Walter found a worm!

Archer found a worm!

Weston's worm is wiggling!

Hmm what do you see Eli?

Callie is looking under the playground equipment.

Owen is on a mission!

Where is Van going to look?

Maybe there are bugs under the swing?

Let's look in  the grass!

What is hiding in the wood chips?

Olivia is coming to see what is going on under the bridge.

Weston and Archer have big smiles. :)

Owen says "Tada!"

Eli is observing his worm.

Ian is ready to investigate!

What Happens when...?

What Happens when you put a bar of Ivory Soap in the Microwave for 1-2 minutes?

First, I went around the classroom and let everyone check out the bar of soap.....

Then i put it in the microwave for 1-2 Minutes....... (you can see it expanding)

 We all had to come watch it in the microwave :)

 This is what came out.....kind of looks like a cloud!  It was pretty hot when it first came out, so I had to let it cool.

 I put it in a bowl and gave everyone a piece of the cloud.

And we made it snow in the classroom!  It was a huge mess, but totally worth it!

If you want to try this at home, I suggest playing with it during bath time :)

My mom turned into a pickle?

At large group time, I told the class that I needed their help writing a story. Jordan was sitting next to me so I asked her how are story should start. I wrote down what she said and then went around the circle and wrote down what everyone said in order. (I tried to write down word for word what everyone said.) Here is what we came up with....

Our Story

The firefighter is coming. There is a storm coming. There is thunder and lightning and then the plow

 needs to come and plow it away. There is a castle on fire and there is a knight who is stuck in the 

castle. There is a firestorm and he rushes to the fire department and the firefighter come. Then I tell

 my mommy about the firefighter and then she turns into a pickle, a cucumber, a man, and a pickle

 again.

        Then there is a tornado and I have a basket to catch the tornado and I hide in the basement and

 then I hide in the wall and turn into a pickle and a cucumber. Then there was nobody outside so I

found worms, because no one could tell us we couldn't find worms. Then a tornado crashed into a 

fire and a firefighter crashed into the fire and the firefighter sprayed the tornado and the fire. The my

momma turned into a pickle, then into a cucumber and then bumped her head. Then she turns into a 

wall, then into a picture. Then she ate some chocolate treats. Then she goes up into a tornado and I

 say "Mom, Mom!" and its only my dad. Then a thunderstorm blows the house. Then my mom turns 

into a fish, then into a carrot, a chip, and then a thunderstorm. I say "Mom, Mom are you okay?"

The End

how tall are you?

On Tuesday Morning, a few friends were standing next to each other to see who was taller. This turned into a whole class activity. I helped the 3's class get in order form shortest to tallest. 

(Some of the friends moved spots before I took the pictures, but the height order is pretty close!)

It was easier to take the picture in 2 groups. :)

We also decided to try drawing on the floor. Everyone had a crayon, paper, and their imagination. The drawings are displayed on and around the door across from our classroom.  :)

hmmm..... where should I draw?

The boys are choosing lots of colors!

Walter is showing his artwork!
