Dallas Zoo

During the past two weeks our Kindergarten and First Grade students have been hard at work researching endangered animals. Together in small groups, our students learned about tigers, sea lions, penguins, sloths, monarch butterflies, and sharks. They studied ways to help these endangered animals and then created propaganda to help educate others about the needs of these animals. Then, we took to the hallways and advocated for the protection of our endangered animals as we paraded through our school encouraging our Watson family to help save these animals. We also created commercials which our Watson family viewed in support of our cause.  Finally, we had a guest speaker from Insync Exotics come and visit with us about the wonderful work they are doing to help protect our tigers from extinction. We learned about ways that we could help their facility by making donations or visiting them at their Wylie location. After all of our hard work these past two weeks, we had some fun exploring the Dallas Zoo and seeing the animals that we learned about all week in person. You can enjoy our parade, commercials, and zoo show below. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think.

Rumble in the Jungle

Our Kindergarten students participated in an exciting P.E. program this week where they showed off their parachute skills, practiced dribbling a basketball, jumped rope, and performed a rousing rendition of "If You Are Happy and You Know it"! They did a great job, and we had a wonderful time rumbling through the jungle with them! Here is your chance to see them one more time in action. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think!

Flat Stanley Adventures

We recently completed our Flat Stanley project! After reading the story of Flat Stanley, we created our own Flat Stanleys and mailed them to family/friends who lived all over the country. We sent them some interesting facts and information about our hometown and asked them to tell us about theirs. Over the past couple of weeks, our Flat Stanleys have returned home, and we have been sharing their adventures with our friends in our class. It has been so much fun to learn about the different states in our country and all of the exciting places that you can visit! Here is a show of our Flat Stanley adventures. We hope you enjoy learning about the United States of America as much as we did! Leave us a comment and let us know what you think!
