A classroom visit from a pediatrician

As we continue to talk about community helpers in social studies, some of our parents have stopped by our classroom to tell us about their jobs. This mom brought x-rays to show us, a splint, some medical equipment, and we all got to wear masks to keep the germs away! She really made learning fun!!

Severe Weather Lessons Blowing in from the South

Today we got to visit with a local meteorologist! Mr. Tim Deegan from Channel 12 News came to our class to tell us about clouds, high and low pressure, weather instruments, and what to do in the event of dangerous weather. We learned that lightening only happens when ice crystals are present. We discussed what to do if a tornado warning is issued. We talked about tsunamis and hurricanes. We even learned a little bit about television production and what a green screen is!

Carmen Agra Deedy Visits Chets Creek!

We had an entertaining visit with the awesome author Carmen Agra Deedy this morning! She is a master storyteller and kept the kids hanging on her every word as she told them a tale about a character with more heart than brains.

Holiday Play

Last week we performed Once on a Housetop for our parents and the children in our school. We've been singing and dancing to prepare for this special show. The boys and girls learned their lines and acted out the scenes. It was fun and entertaining!

A Bad Case of Stripes on a Pumpkin!

Today we painted our pumpkins that will be on display next week for the Literary Pumpkin Festival. We based them on the main character, Camila Cream, who was afraid to be herself and eat lima beans. She thought her friends would make fun of her. Soon she broke out in stripes and other distracting designs. We learned that our true friends will appreciate us for who we are and we shouldn't worry about what others will think. If you haven't read A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon we think you should!
