Dinosaur Diggers

Here are the kids practicing to be archaeologists.  They worked very hard on getting the chocolate chips and M&Ms out of the cookie without breaking them.  This is like an archaeologist because they work with small tools and have to be careful too!

Here is our dinosaur egg.  In this picture it is starting to hatch.  My kindergarten daughter was worried that it would hatch over night and be running around the room in the morning.  The second graders knew it was pretend, but still enjoyed watching it hatch!

It's a baby Stegosaurus!

We named him Stego.

Now we are the real deal.  We are digging bones out of rock to solve a dinosaur mystery.  What kind of dinosaur will it be?  Everyone is having fun chiseling the rock away.  We have to wear safety glasses so we don't get any flying rock in our eyes.  This is so much fun, but after 2 days of chiseling we still have not uncovered our first bone! 

There is a bone in this picture, can you see it?

Dandelion Monday

DANDELION

those little yellow tokens of love

are just weeds,

to the ignorant.

but in the eyes of a child,

they are priceless,

How could Monday not be delightful with a jar full of dandelions sitting on my desk?

Happy Valentine's Day

We had a great party today! Thank you to all that helped with it. Below are some pictures of the FUN!

One of the games we played at our party was to create a fairy tale using only three words.  Each student got 3 random words in their head and were asked to write them up on a sheet of paper.  Mrs. Phillips then took those words and turned them into a fairy tale.  Here is the SILLY result:
Once upon a time there was a red and black cat that was awesome rock-out amazing.  The other blue cool animals liked random words.  The clock struck seven, nine, ten when men named Fallon picked ok bees with honey.  Then there were three cows, pigs, and the horse!  They slept in tents and picked their noses while the ladies ate fish and tailfins.  Fisherella was Lynne, Corbin and Allan’s favorite meal.
