Winter Birdseed Feeders

We have made the birds (and squirrels) happy!

Following a read of The Night Tree by Eve Bunting, we made birdseed feeders out of cardboard tubes, peanut butter and birdseed.  In a matter of 15 minutes, we had 6 chickadees enjoying a snack right outside our window!

It was quite a messy project!

We enjoyed watching the birds enjoy their holiday gift! 

Dreidel Game

We have been learning about the holiday of Hanukkah this week.

We learned that Jewish people who celebrate this holiday play the game of dreidel.  

We even enjoyed some chocolate gelt at the close of our game!

3D Block Structures

We're reviewing the meaning of SYMMETRY as a part of our geometry unit.

We created symmetrical designs with pattern blocks.  Then we worked with a partner taking turns to build a 3D structure that shows symmetry.

Check out the fantastic results!
