Jump Rope for Heart was a huge success!

The children had lots of fun exercising their hearts and they raised a good amount of money for a worthy cause. Some of them were shocked when they realized they could jump the long rope with two people swinging. We used imaginary ropes, regular jump ropes , hula hoops, and rope lines (on the ground). Everyone was successful and smiling! The smiles were even bigger when they got their popsicles after all their hard work.

Look for pictures posted on Flikr.

Language Arts: We've done lots of reading and are exploring the world of nonfiction books. The children are becoming excellent readers. We've had some fun writing poetry too.

Math: We have been writing number stories and the that go along with them. We are learning to distinguish the difference between addition and subtraction.

Science & Social Studies: We have been talking about healthy food choices and have had a pizza restaurant running. The children will make English Muffin pizzas after vacation. 

We will hatch chicks and learn how they develop after vacation also.
