Are there trees in the desert?

This question came up when Trevor brought in a collection of toy animals that live in the African desert. All of the children said the giraffe, elephant, lion, and zebras lived in the desert, but one child said, "there are no trees in the desert!"

So, we looked in one of our books on the African desert, and we did see a couple of trees! "The giraffes eat trees!" said, Blake. So we all worked together on making a big art piece showing the desert.

The children made sure that it didn't look like a "forest", so they only put 4 trees in their desert!

What We Have To Say About Trees!

We have so much to say about trees! We are each writing sentences about trees and gluing them around our forest. We are sounding out EACH word in our sentence and trying to spell them on our own! Some of us can already spell some of the words without help!

Tree Update

We are working so well on our tree project! We would love to learn as much as we can about them!

Since Natalie LOVES making trees for everyone, :0), she made a "mini forest" on a long piece of paper. The rest of the class is working on making the different animals, insects, and anything else that lives on a tree. We will place all of them in the forest where they belong. We are also spelling all the words we can think of for our tree project. We will put it up soon, so we can show off how well we are writing now!

Tree Project

We have been working on our "tree project"! We all drew trees and we noticed that some were taller than others......................so we started using our rulers to MEASURE! The tree Natalie made was 3 feet tall.

And once the tree was up, we all stood next to it to compare our height. We put another piece of paper to show how much WE measure!

summer reading

Little Wonders is proud to announce that the whole school is enrolled in the summer reading program! All ages, 0 - 18yrs, are able to participate! We are SO fired up about it, that we cannot stop reading! In fact, now we have a chart on our wall so we can keep track of all of the books we are reading! To keep track at home there are forms by the door to fill out & when you've read 20 books just bring your form in to ms. maryam & take another one home. It's summer time, who goes to bed on time let's read 2 books every night.

For more information on the program and the prizes go to.........

trees!!!

we are now starting a project on TREES!!!!! we think trees are so important, and we love them for giving us oxygen! now we want to learn more about them. we have made our own "acorn tree" for our classroom, and the teachers can't wait to see what else they can get us to do!!!!!!

compost -aka- stinky time

Compost (also known as stinky time)is a type of fertilizer that is made from rotting plants. It is easy and cheap to make, as all it really requires is vegetable waste. The vegetable waste is broken down by bacteria (germs), and made into compost. can you believe we know what that is...
now that we know how cool composting is we DO NOT throw anything away, we used to just keep one or two orange peels now we keep all of them. by composting we're reducing the amout of garbage we produce and keeping the yard waste out of landfills. don't you wish you were cool like us...well you can be, we just told you how. bonus is it's great for the soil, conserves water, stops fertilizer run off & it isn't hard to do...whoo hoo. if we can do it, so can you.

we did it!!!

guess what...we did it, we raised enough money to adopt a polar bear family! whoo hoo! we decided to make yesterday "happy polar bear day", we even had a celebration in its honor. we made a HUGE sign that said "happy polar bear day" & we colored polar bears to put all over it. since polar bears are from the arctic we decided to make our lunch be foods from the arctic. we made a tortiere which is a "meat pie", it was so nummy & we thought polar bears only ate seals, who knew they liked potatoes also. we also made an earth bar which had oats, brown sugar, chocolate chips & raisins. we did save the best for last, for desert we made a "polar bear cake"- we baked a cake and frosted it white & then we stuck polar bears in it that we had made ( it looked like a polar bear family on an ice cap... awesome),it tasted as good as it looked. we so need to open a restaurant, we are grrrreat lil chefs!!! after the celebration we made a really, really important phone call to the world wildlife to let them know we raised enough money to adopt & save a polar bear family. they were very nice on the phone & we all got to talk to them, they were very impressed with everything we did to adopt the polar bears. in a few weeks we'll get a packet that tells us about our polar bears & has a certificate with our names on it, how cool is that!!! again we just want to say thank you to our family for supporting us on our very important mission.
