Under Construction
During our study of systems this week, we talked about tall towers, bridges, and nests. We discussed what a building would need to have in order to withstand natural disasters and be a good structure for a home. Here are the towers that our children created in class this week. We have also included pictures of the bridges that we created and the nests that we made to try to save Humpty Dumpty from cracking when he fell off the wall. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think about all of our exciting constructions from this week.

Put A Little Love in Your Heart
Our Kindergarten and First Grade students recently had the privilege of hosting our very own PTA program. We enjoyed putting on an exciting show entitled, "Put A Little Love in Your Heart" where we defined the meaning of love in our lives and encouraged others to go out into our world and spread love. Our kids did an amazing job, and I could not be more proud of them. Thank you for reminding us all about the power of sharing love and kindness with others! You lit up the stage and spoke to so many hearts that night! Here are a few video clips and pictures from our special night. I have also attached a link to our whole show! Thank you to our families who submitted these memories for our blog.

Music Around the World--Session 2--Week 5--America
Wow! What an exciting day we had today at our fifth morning of our Music Around the World Club! Today we learned about our country--America! We focused on how Texans like to put a country twist on American favorites. After reviewing "It's a Small World", "Kye Kye Kule", "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star", and "This Little Light of Mine." We were treated to a special guest, Miss Todd's Dad, Mr. Todd. He played his guitar for us and sang, "Sneaky Snake", a song that he and Miss Todd sang together when she was our age. After enjoying Mr. Todd's presentation, we had the opportunity to create string things, harmonicas, and washboards. We used these instruments to accompany our song, "You Are my Sunshine!" You can listen to our rousing rendition in the show we made below. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think about our fun day!
Don't forget to join us on Thursday night, May 10th at 7:00 P.M. for our presentation of our Music Around the World Celebration Night! You are going to enjoy seeing all of the instruments that we have created and songs that we have learned on our musical journey around the world!

Legoland
What a wonderful field trip we had to Legoland. This event kicked off our unit on tall towers and bridges. Next week we will begin learning about what a building needs to remain strong and how the parts of a building work together as a system. We traveled to Legoland where we created our own spinning tops and explored Legoland. Watch our show to see our adventure. Let us know what you think by leaving us a comment!
