The Magic Trains:
Today the magic Trains:
1.) Read books about plants and learned more about the parts of plants.
2.) Played a game about the seven continents during Fitness with Mr. Chris and Ms. Julie. We also acted out being different types of animals.
3.) Relaxed and listened to a book on tape called “Turtle Song”.
4.) Painted beautiful pictures during Art and read the book “Go Dog Go” with Ms. Feinburg. She always brings a stuffed animal that matches the book we read!

The Diener Dinosaurs:
Today the Diener Dinosaurs...
1.) Had a visit from Miss Brook! We played beanbag games, worked on a color-by-number picture, and did handwriting activities! We also read a book called 'Diary of a Worm' - it was just like the book we read last week, 'Diary of a Spider', but from the perspective of a little worm!
2.) Played really fun games in fitness with Miss Julie! We traveled around the continents pretending to be different kinds of animals, then we worked together as a team to build a habitat in which an animal could live!
3.) Had art with Mrs. Feinberg - we worked on a beautiful project using lines drawn with markers and crayons!

The Mighty Dieners:
1.) What a fun day we had at Personal Ponies! We saw the biggest chicken ever and learned the chickens lay an egg everyday! We also met several miniature ponies that we fed carrots to and brushed. We will be adopting a pony that we will write letters to!
2.) In Science we worked on our animal habitats! We are at the painting stage and loving designing what our animal habitats should look like!
3.) In Music, we played with instruments and sang, “When the Saints Go Marching In”!

The Golden Owls:
Today we had a great day!
1.) On our field trip we had the best time. We saw ponnies that we are adopting and their natural habitats. We cannot wait to write them letters! We even got to feed them carrots. We saw the world famous king rooster and learned about his habitat and what he eats as well.
2.) In music with Mr. Dave we continued to sing while playing different instruments like the triangle, bells, and maracas. We also sang the song, "I got music, I got rhythm..."
3.) Science was wonderful with Ms. Melissa while we continued to talk and work on our different habitats. We even got to paint our own!
