We had fun making our moms a special gift.
First, we made fingerprint flowers.
Then, we added a button to the middle of the flower.
Finally, we added soil and planted a spider plant baby.
We hope our families love the gift as much as we enjoyed making it.
My daughter, Alexis, is home for the summer from university, so she was in all week helping us with this special project.
We are watching the bird life cycle live! I have a nesting box in my yard with a solar-powered camera. We were excited to find that two house sparrows had found the box and started building a nest. Each morning, we check in to watch the progress. We are so excited!
For Earth Day, we focused all week on things we can do to help take care of our Earth. Each student wrote what they could do for Earth Day. Then, we made a painting of the Earth to go with our writing. We had fun using marbles to create the artwork.
In April, we worked on a writing piece titled "I am EGGstra special." Each student wrote about qualities that make them unique and special. Then each student created a unique egg art project to complement the writing.
Last week, we dyed eggs and turned them into super cute Easter bunnies. We also made Easter cards and wrapped everything up for a sweet Easter gift for someone in the family.
