Still no ducklings...

Sad to say but we ended our school year today without a duckling hatched.  I carried them home last weekend just in case we had one hatch, but nothing happened.  The students watched eagerly the last few days in hopes that we may get a last minute surprise, unfortunately that did not happen.  We have had a great last few weeks anyway!  Field day and kindergarten fun day were so much fun!    It was so great to see all of you at our end of the year program yesterday.  I have enjoyed having each of your children and getting to know your families this year.  I am sad to see this year come to an end!  I wish you all the very best next year!  Enjoy your summer!

Still waiting!

We are still waiting to see if our ducklings will hatch.  They were due Wednesday so we hope to have ducklings by tomorrow.  The students are eager to see our babies.  Remember tomorrow is field day so come dressed to play!  Here are a few pictures from year book day. 

Celebrating the arts

Our class had an opportunity to see the Drama Club and Honor Choir perform today.  What a great performance!  

Special Visitor!

Thumper, Mrs. Watson's lop eared bunny, paid our class a special visit on Friday as a reward for working hard and good behavior.  They enjoyed his visit and are asking when he will return.  

Candling our eggs!

Today we candled our eggs to find out "what's inside of our eggs?"  It is a little hard to see in the pictures but the students could see well and became very excited about their "sneak peek."

Make way for ducklings!

We are so excited!  We have duck eggs in our incubator.  We are expecting our ducklings to hatch in 35 days.  We have been busy researching Muscovy ducks and how to take care of them.  We are keeping journals to document our journey to "parenthood."  We cannot wait until we can see our babies waddle!  We have been marking off the days on our class calendar so we will know when to expect our special arrivals.  Each student is helping care for the eggs by turning them twice a day and keeping water in the incubator.  What a great first hand experience to learn about ducks!  Check back to see our ducklings!  

Second grade weather teachers

We are so excited to have second grade students from Mrs. Hutchins class visit us today.  They are teaching us about weather.  What great teachers!  We learned a lot from their visit!  Thank you for taking time to teach us about what you have been learning!
