Wednesday!!!!

We started off the day discussing quilts............and oh did it lead to a deep, deep discussion!  I read the book "The Secret to Freedom" which talked about the Underground Railroad.  It shared how quilts were used as directions to help slaves get to a safer place.  I skipped over some of the pages as it was a bit too sad.  We even talked a little bit about the civil war, and the northern and southern states.

 
I shared a quilt, and some of the tools I used.  A group of teachers are making it for another teacher's new addition...

We continue to receive "What to do wit h our box" surveys from various classes.  We are thinking (but we aren't sure) that the "Secret Laboratory" may win - SHHHHHH don't tell anyone - we want it to be a surprise!  We are looking for anything from your recycling box or garage that looks kinda "sciencey" - tubes, aluminum stuff, wires, etc., that could be glued onto cardboard.


We have our field trip to the Dance Center tomorrow.  We will be dancing, again, with Gary Reed.

We were SO excited about the Science Fair!  Nine students from this class brought projects! We spent a half-an-hour looking at all of the projects in the gym!

Kindergartners are amazing!!!!
