Plants

 Well, we all got in the mood for spring and started a little project study on plants and we are sticking to it.  We love our little indoor greenhouse and will add more to it each week until the weather allows for outdoor planting.  This snow is throwing me for a loop.  Currently, we are growing sprouts that will just be for snacking on and won't be transferred. I think we are going to attempt sweet potatoes next week.  :)


We had a wonderful week together and just allowed ourselves to slow down and enjoy one another and not worry about having the perfect lesson plans or recording data.  Sometimes I have to be quiet long enough to listen to the Holy Spirit telling me what is most important in my classroom.  I am thankful for my quiet devotional time that provides me with clarity to be the best I can be for your children.  

February can be tough and we are determined to keep the learning alive and the momentum going!

Blessings for an amazing weekend!

This outdoor learning space is new this year and was not planned. The students took over this corner in my yard and it has been pretty magical.  Anyone want to help with spring landscaping to fix this "mess"?  ;)

Marcus is using this stick as a tiller...it looks just like the old time tillers.



The other side of the room was chaos from the boys and several girls navigated to a quiet area to play.  




So much learning!

Ready for Spring!

 We are not sure if this weather will last, but it has us all ready to spend more time outside and play on the farm.  We have been working hard on our "bear trap" in the backyard and we were very surprised when we found a giant bear in the trap on Thursday!  I absolutely love the imagination and team work that happens when left with just materials from nature and great friends.  


We are gearing up to start some plants in our little indoor greenhouse to prepare for spring planting and will be prepping the land as the weather continues to warm up.  We are so excited for this project study and can't wait to share in the learning and excitement with your children.


We had a wonderful Valentine's Day party and truly appreciate all the parent participation.  We felt so blessed and loved by all of you.  THANK YOU!  

Enjoy a sneak peak into our week.  


Happy Valentine's Day and may you enjoy this beautiful long weekend!

Stir Crazy!

 It's been a bit crazy in the classroom lately and we are all ready for spring.  God knew we needed the weather to warm up and get these children outside more.  Thank you, Jesus, for the warmer temps that are here.  It was so refreshing to go on my walk today with just my sweatshirt and no coat, hat or mittens.  


We have been reading stories to gear up for Valentine's Day, and we feel so blessed to have a classroom full of love.  We have really started working on putter letters together to make words and it's such an exciting time.  It is so beautiful how the students just start to become so interested in reading and writing and I sure love being a part of this magical time of learning.

The best hack for eating messy cupcakes at school.  Picnics are so fun and we can shake off the plastic outside.
