March Memories


Hi Little Penguins!

March has been full of fun so far! Isn't it weird that we've had so many "lamb" days, and so few "lion" days? I wonder if the saying will be true.....since March came in like a lamb, will it go out like a lion? We'll have to wait and see!

Have you enjoyed learning about penguins? I've been a Portal Penguin for six years, and I didn't know ANYTHING about real-life penguins. Now I know all about six of the different kinds of penguins. I can't wait to learn about Galapagos tomorrow!

Your March question is.....which is your favorite penguin so far, and why? Make sure to post your comment before the end of March!

Thanks for reading!

February Fun

This month has been full of excitement in the Galapagos Village!

The February festivities started with Phil and Groundhog's Day. Despite the fact that he saw his shadow, spring was nowhere near!

We celebrated the 100th Day of School. It is hard to believe that our year together is more than halfway over. We had a great Dinosaur Assembly on Friday, as well as Valentine's Day today.

I thought that it might be fun to start a "Question of the Week" for all the K/1 kids to respond to... another way of sharing our thoughts/opinions with each other.

Question #1
What is your favorite memory (so far) this year?

Welcome!

Hi Room 18 Kids and Parents!

Mrs. Viswanatha, Mrs. Dorn, and I thought it might be fun to try BLOGGING!

We are new to this, but we thought we could all learn together. We can chat about things we think are cool or exciting or important. We can share our ideas and what we've learned.

What do you think?
