Z is for Zoo!

Today we went to the Phoenix Zoo on a field trip. We saw so many wonderful animals...giraffes, tiger, lion, rhinos, monkeys, elephants, koalas, and more! We had a nice picnic lunch with all our friends. These kiddos did an awesome job walking the whole time...what a beautiful sunny day at the zoo. Thank you to all the parents who came along to help out and spend a fun day together. Picture (left to right): Mitchell B, Kaden, Mitchell M, Carly, Kate, Paige and Kenzie up front.

Happy St Patrick's Day!!

It looks like the leprechauns have paid us a visit today! We found some little gold coins hidden out in the grass. And somehow when we weren't looking the little leprechauns played some tricks on us...they turned our lunch table upside down, flipped the swings around, and who knows what else around here?! HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY!!

L is for Leprechauns

Our Scholastic Magazine was all about Leprechauns today. So what better way to finish up on it than to go searching for leprechauns! We walked down to the greenbelt and looked high and low for our little green friends. Too bad for us, we didn't see any. I reminded the kids how tricky leprechauns can be...after all, if found they are to surrender their lucky pot of gold so they try to hide from us!

Today we had a special visitor come for show-n-tell...Cookie, Mitchell's Grandma's little puppy. What a cute little puppy she is! The kids enjoyed petting her soft puppy fur.

Happy Birthday, Dr Seuss!!

Today we celebrated Dr Seuss' birthday by bringing in our favorite Dr Seuss books and reading them ALL! We even read 'Green Eggs and Ham' and made some to eat. We made 'Thing 1' art projects too...they turned out very cute!
