Indoor fun during frigid February weather.

We started off our day with Mrs Crockett reading us this awesome story. Ask me about it or pick it up at the library.

    Too cold to play outside but just perfect for baking. We made banana chocolate chip muffins

    which we ate for snack. Mmmmmm good!!!!

   After mashing up the bananas we added the other ingredients. My job was to add the oil.

I added the mashed up bananas and the sour cream.

I cracked open the egg. Mme. Martin said not to squeeze it but to open it like a door.

     When all the ingredients were in we took turns mixing everything together. 

While our friends were helping with the baking some us us played a memory game with Mrs. Crockett.

The balance boards were new so we tried balancing on them. It was really tricky. We used our arms to help us keep our balance.

 

  We love wearing the capes and playing super heroes with our friends. Sometimes it's hard to     

   remember not to run inside.

                                                      Wednesday

    Another cold day. Perfect time to get out creative with fingerprints. We made designs, 

    created new colours and enjoyed the feel of the paints on our hands.

                                                    Friday

Today we had a field trip to the zoo. It was a really cold day so we were thankful most of our time was spent indoors.

Our teacher Bran gave a presentation on the ABCs of zoo animals.

This is what a camel's skull looks like. We got to touch it Did you know that camels store fat in their humps.

 This awesome turtle shell belonged to a sea turtle. All turtles have 13 scutes, that is what those little plates on the shell are called. They get bigger as the turtle grows. A turtle's shell is attached to it's body at the backbone.

 Did you know that girl reindeer keep their antlers all winter and the males shed theirs in the fall. That means all Santa's reindeer are girls.

See our antlers.

We finished our morning in Toucan Ridge. It was like being in the jungle.
