Presidents

Last week, we used Cara's Pint-Sized Presidential Unit and wrote

 about what we would do if we were President.  

LOVE THE HAIR!!

"If I were President, I would tell the house builders to put cameras

 in houses so that kids would behave..."  

Teacher's Kid!!

 "If I were President, I would help my Mom's boss lady eat and put her clothes on."

Her Mom is a Home Health Nurse! Ha!

We also learned about Dental Health! How did I not take pics?? 

I'll post those next time!

The Arctic

How cute are these??

Our Venture students (Gifted Classes) studied The Arctic

 and created this polar bear and igloo! 

The polar bear is made out of newspapers. 

The igloo is made out of water and milk jugs.

We couldn't help but use this as a photo op!! 

The kids thought the inside looked really cool!

I'm linking up with Jeannie from Kindergarten Lifestyle!

She's putting together a list of K-2 blogs! How great is that??
