What a month it’s been! We’ve had some incredible visitors and trips during the last few weeks. You can definitely tell spring has sprung in Team 203! Students have been busy researching for our Living Wax Museum, traveling to the Cape Cod Canal, and taking care of our newest visitors . . . 3 anoles!
Check out some picture from this month’s adventures!
Learning about food chains and webs can be fun when you can interact with living creatures. We are playing host to about twenty crickets, three anoles, and some soon to come earthworms. These creatures will live in . . . harmony, so to speak, as we study the workings of a food chain in our room.
The FHS Ecology Club paid a visit to third grade and taught us about endangered primates. Students learned about different types of chimps and the habitats they live in. Then, we got to make our chimp pencils to take home!
Monday, Team 203 traveled to Sandwich, MA to visit the Cape Cod Canal Visitor’s Center. There we learned about tides, marine traffic control, and the construction of the canal. What fun facts do you remember from Tugs to the Rescue, our jeopardy game on the lawn?
Once our work was done with the jeopardy game, we got to hit the beach and see some real food chains in action! Check out the crabs we found hanging out at the mouth of the canal!
We could not have ordered better weather if we had the chance. It felt like summer and students had an awesome trip!
Mother’s Day Poetry Celebration- Poetry and song filled our room as we welcomed mothers to our classroom earlier this month. Each student prepared one or more poems to recite front of a special audience. We also prepared two musical dance numbers. I was impressed with the effort that each child made in making it a special celebration for moms and teachers! Great job, Team 203!
