Countdown to Spring Break!!

Honestly, I think this is the longest winter on record!! It certainly feels that way for all of us in Room 4!
The students and I have decided we are tired of seeing winter art, and so our recent art project has been creating a summer scene with a night sky lit with fireflies. Memories of warm summer nights! We are going to be doing a short writing activity to go along with our paintings, and as soon as everything is complete, we will post a photo of the finished bulletin board.

In this post you will find a few photos of the cooperative problem solving we have been working on, as well as some highlights from our trip to the Museum of Man and Nature.

I would like to wish everyone a restful and enjoyable spring break!

Problem solving - Using cards containing the directions for the design, the students must determine the correct order for the directions to build the designs accurately.
