Dot Day

Today is Dot Day!  We read the book The Dot and learned the importance of trying new things even if it's scary and we think we can't do it.  Look at our inspiring dots!

Synergize

We have been learning about the 7 habits and today we practiced synergizing.  Our goal was to stack 3 cups without touching them with our hands.  We could only touch 1 string and communicate respectfully.  

Working!

Success!

Zoo Exhibits

We have been learning about the different classifications of animals in order to help "Wally the Zookeeper" build exhibits for new animals.  These are our exhibit ideas for orangutans, Galapagos tortoises, spotted salamanders, seahorses, and bald eagles.  We made sure that the animal felt at home and had its basic needs met.
