APPLE ORCHARD FUN!!!

Today was the field trip to Blake's Orchard for all of my wonderful second graders who worked hard and earned their field trip.  I am so proud of my students for how well they behaved for myself and the chaperones that attended.  A huge thank you to Alvin's dad for tagging along - I hope you had as much fun as I did!  I promised that I would post pictures as soon as possible, so I didn't want to let any kids down, because they always remind me when I forget.  (Thank you, Kyra!)

 

My wonderful 2nd graders that worked so hard to be a part of this trip!

Some kids even climbed the mountain of hay with Ms. Harper!

October's Virtual Window!

We had a few last minute changes in our classroom this week for our virtual window.  I had originally planned to use a webcam located in one of our national parks, but because of the government shutdown, the cams were shut down as well.  So I went to plan b and I think it turned out very nicely.  All of the students were really excited about the animals at the San Diego Zoo, so we kept the theme going for one more month and now our virtual window is...

The Vancouver Aquarium

 There are a lot of really great webcams that the students can watch on their site and a ton of educational resources to learn about aquatic animals.  If you happen to look at the site at home, let me know what you think by leaving a comment on our blog!  What webcam is your favorite?  I think I like the jellyfish the most!
