HAPPY EARTH DAY!

Life Net Helicopter landing on the LPA soccer field!

The students did a great job being quiet during AIMS testing for the upper grades.  The students enjoyed going to Old Pueblo Grill and Outback Steakhouse.  At OPG, the students made guacamole, went on a tour of the restaurant (which used to be a house), played food bingo and dressed up like a server or a chef.  At Outback Steakhouse the students took a tour of the restaurant and learned what the Australian flag and country looked like. 

The menus were great and very creative!   If your student has not turned their menu in, please make sure it is turned tomorrow. 

HOMEWORK: DUE: Friday, May 3^rd. 

·         Each student needs to make an insect.  It can be made out of paper, clay, play dough, poster board, etc.   Be creative.  (Hint:  A spider is NOT an insect.)

OPG

LADYBUG LAB

The students participated in a Wind Experiment, tried Windmill cookies and Wafers for Ww week. 

LADYBUG LAB  

                The students were scientists and observed, analyzed, and documented what they saw on the ladybugs.  The students were able to have a ladybug crawl on them.  They watched how their six legs moved.  The students were excited to see their transparent (fragile) wings when the ladybugs flew. 

Field Trips:

                

Field trips are a privilege!  I have talked to the students and they understand, if any student does not follow directions (with 3 warnings) on any field trip they will not be allowed to attend the next one.  We have been working on manners and respect in our classroom.  I expect our class to show that on our field trip.

Friday – Outback Steakhouse – please bring a snack.  Student will not be eating until 12:00.
