Art Show

We had an art show at our school. Everyone had work in the show. We had two pieces of work; we each made a songbird out of earth clay and drew bird cages with oil pastels and golden paint. We did our work in art class with our art teacher, and we listened carefully to directions. We looked at photographs of birds to see what they looked like and what colors to use. 

The art show was at night. We came back to school with our families. We showed our parents our artwork, had snacks, and got our faces painted. It was fun and exciting!

Welcome to Wacky Wednesday! We are celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday. He would be 108 years old!

We decided to wear c-r-a-z-y socks. We made mustaches just like the one the Lorax has. We had a Wacky Wednesday Assembly. Mrs. McGee read us the Dr. Seuss story called Wacky Wednesday. Then we heard The Cat in the Hat. We got Wacky Wednesday stickers too. We planted some flowers and Truffula trees in Weehauken also. It was fun!

Our Ocean Concert

 pictures by Emma's Mom

We did a music concert about oceans. We went to the high school and we sang on the stage. It was very exciting and we practiced a lot. There were many people at our concert. Our parents and families came, and people from our community. We sang lots of songs. Our special class song was Baby Beluga. We even wore costumes. We had headbands with whales on them and blue tunics too. The other classes were sharks, turtles, jellyfish, clams and even kids at the beach! We played musical instruments. Our class played egg shakers. We got to play with beach balls for the song Down at the Beach. It was lots of fun to do a concert!

Polar Bears

We did some polar bear research for homework. We had to find out if our whole family together weighs more than a male polar bear. A male polar bear can weigh 1,400 pounds. None of our families weighed that much!

Next we measured to find out if anyone in our family was close to the height of a male polar bear on 2 feet. He is 9-11 feet tall. None of our family members are even close to that tall! 

Next we measured to see if a polar bear would fit in our bedroom. A male polar bear can be 10 feet long. Some of our bedrooms were big enough, and some were too small. Alanna's door was too small for a polar bear to fit through. 
We found out that polar bears are HUGE!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Starfish!

Our Little Baby Crickets

We are parents! Our baby crickets have hatched! They like to play on the warm sunny side of the terrarium. We give them water on a paper towel. When we bring grapes for snack, we bite them in half and feed them to the baby crickets. They can't chew through the grape skin yet. They are about 1/4 inch long. They are hard to see because they blend in with the soil. They don't chirp yet, but they will when they are bigger. We really like watching them.

We won a gingerbread house!

Mr. Chouinard made a big, beautiful gingerbread house. He gave it to our school. Mrs. McGee did a lottery and our class won! OH YEAH! 

THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. CHOUINARD! It's so beautiful we can't decide if we should eat it or not. What would you do if you were us?
