Northern Great Lake Visitor Center Field Trip!

What a great day we had. I didn’t hear any complaints. The 3rd and 4th graders started out snowshoeing around the Boardwalk. It was a ways.

We only had a few kids fall down, but they got back up and kept going. Then we went inside to learn about Winter Hibernation.

When we finished that the students went into the exhibit hall and partnered up and did a scavenger hunt activity. We then proceeded into another room to listen to a presentation on migratory and winter birds.

Each student then made a pinecone feeder to take home.

Hopefully they all made it home and are hanging in a tree outside. Fun was had by all (I think the adults also had fun, I know I did). Read the other blogs to see how the K – 2nd grade trip went. They were there with us but they were doing different activities.

We still need more volunteers to help with Catholic School Mass, Sunday at the 9:30 time.
Please make sure your child is reading and doing their math facts. Monday is the first day to turn in February’s Reading – Math calendar.

Next Friday, Feb. 12th we will have a small Valentine card exchange. I keep it pretty low keyed. We play a bingo game and open cards. A few families can bring a treat if they wish. Please check with me so we don’t end up with 14 treats. One family could send some kind of juice.

Next week I would like to use the kids spelling words they have miss spelled so far this year and test them. They are encouraged to take their red notebook home and study the words. They are coming along really good in spelling.
