CHICKS!

Sorry for the delay in getting these pictures to you.  Hopefully you have all seen the chick updates on the district website (www.oess.org).   Take a peek at our chick, Sebastian.   He hatched when we were talking about the letter S.

The chicks all live at Buttermilk Farm now.  Bye-bye Sebastian!  We really enjoyed having you at MLT!!!

Feeling Appreciated!

Thank you all so much for participating in teacher appreciation week.  It was a GREAT week and I appreciate YOU, the parents and families that support our program.

Have You Heard?

Hopefully you know about Mrs. Murray's webcam and have been watching the eggs hatch chicks at home.

Our students have visited the hatchery a number of times to see the eggs in the incubator.  They saw them start to crack and now we have some new additions to our school.

Mrs. Murray has assigned each class the task of naming a chick. 

Any ideas?

Our Trip To Maple View Farm

We saw signs of spring all over town when we visited the farm earlier this week.  Our visit to see our neighbors, Mr. & Mrs. Clark, at Maple View Farm was fun for everyone.  See for yourself...

Ms. Winkle picked us up with the BIG bus which was so very exciting for our friends (they didn't mind that it was less than a half mile ride).

Did I mention how excited the children were?

We saw Jacob sheep 

There were also very cute black rabbits.

Then we saw the beautiful horses.

Pretty cool right?

Next there was the wagon ride.

Thank you to everyone that helped make this a special outing for my friends!

Did You Play Today?

Update

We are closing in on a super fun "P" week!  We played with Mr. Potato Head, we each got to use the Starfall App on the ipad, we made pudding and tomorrow we will be making pancakes!  

Everyday when we go outside we are looking for signs of spring.  Hope you can find some too when you are outside with your family. 

March Madness

We had a lot of fun reading many of Dr.Seuss's books this month.   Nurse Kara stopped by just in time to talk about the letter N and read us her favorite book,  Dr. Seuss' s ABC.  

St. Patrick's day was a green day as expected. 

We all wore green.

We enjoyed a special green snack of rice krispy treats with green sprinkles (compliments of Jake Bogy's mom - thank you!).

Thanks to CJ's mom we also ate healthy green grapes (that were cut in half).   Thanks room moms for taking such good care of us!  It was a fun snack.  

Miss Liza surprised us with a visit and read us a St. Patrick's Day Story.

What a great GREEN day!
