Happy Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday!

I hope you all have had a wonderful day.  We were very busy in Room 27 today.

We worked on a special project today.  I am attaching pictures, but won't tell you what it is for.  :)  It is a secret.  :)

We also had an opportunity to tour the outdoor classroom today.  The weather didn't completely cooperate, so we had some we shoes when we were finished, but the students had a blast.  We toured the garden (I didn't get a picture there due to the light rain), then the prairie, the pond and the butterfly garden.  We are very lucky to have such a wonderful outdoor classroom at RBE.

 Learning all about the prairie

 Learning about animals we might see in the pond

 Looking for animals in the pond

 We found a lot of frogs, can you see the one in the picture above?

 Our last stop was the butterfly garden.

 They learned about native Missouri plants that attract butterflies.

There is a great path through the butterfly garden.  We will have to go back after the flowers are blooming.

We will continue celebrating Outdoor Classroom week the next two days.  On Friday, we will help in the outdoor classroom by spreading mulch around the garden.  I talked with the kids today about wearing older clothes and shoes on Friday so if they get a bit dirty, it's ok.  Also, Friday is Earth Day, so our dress up day is to wear Earth clothing, meaning anything representing the Earth, nature or just the color green.

Have a wonderful evening and hopefully the weather holds out the rest of the week so we can enjoy some time outside enjoying our wonderful Earth.  :)
