School

In between all the weekend trips and adventures, I really do work.  J  I love my kids and can’t even begin to explain all that I’ve learned working here this year. 

We learned and presented about life in the 13 colonies. 

The costumes were adorable.

One group of students created a board game with facts they learned about  colonial life.  They loved testing the parents.

colonial toys: whirligig and catch-and-toss

We made homemade butter.

We read a book together via skype with a 3^rd grade class in Chapel Hill for World Read Aloud Day.  Then, they mailed us this awesome project they made about the book!

Group Work!

The National Botanical Garden hosted a special exhibit about dinosaurs.  Although the kids cared more about when we were eating lunch than learning about the dinosaurs, it was a fun field trip.

This is a song and hand motions we learned about prepositions.
