Butterflies, Birthdays, Taking Bows, and MORE!!

Hello Hardworking Journalist's families!

Here is a recap of the adventures we have been having in the last few days of school:


















The First Graders had been housing a chrysalis and watched a Monarch butterfly emerge from its casing!  They brought it to the garden and we were able to enjoy witnessing it's first FLIGHT!








Thank you to Natalie for being our Family Reader this week!



We had MANY Birthday Celebrations this week!  These two friends invited us to sing Happy Birthday to them and then SHOUT Happy Birthday! as loud as we could!  That was a new request!



We also sang, So Long, Farewell


And gave out Birthday High Fives and Birthday Hugs!































We played a few games of Mr. Fox, Mr Fox, What Time Is It?



And Red Light, Green Light.



We also enjoyed a special treat.


On another day, we had even MORE birthday celebrations together!  We got to sing and SHOUT Happy Birthday to our friends again.



Sing So Long, Farewell...


...and Big Yellow Taxi.


We gave Birthday High Fives all around!

























Played Mr. Fox, Mr. Fox, What Time Is It?





And Steal the Bacon.











Thanks for the special homemade treats!



This week, the friends also requested to have a Silly Meeting.  Before starting, the class reviewed the agreements for having a successful Silly Meeting, which included:  (Audience) sit quietly, look at the presenter, wait your try, applaud, give a thumbs up, laugh in your normal laugh.  (Presenter) do something silly! take care of your body, our body, and our feelings by doing things that could make us laugh but not make us feel uncomfortable.  We had many different silly things going on, including dancing, singing, jokes, faces, and body movements!



































We also had a special expert, Amanda, come in to talk to us about her pet "Oo-May-May", a snake from Africa that lives in sand.  We got to hear all about it's diet, it's hunting tactics, and how to keep him happy and healthy.

























Friday, after school, The Hardworking Journalists held their screening of their re-enactment of Marcia Brown's >>>STONE SOUP<<<








Love, Gaby
