News from Camp Buckaroo for Jan. 19th-22nd


Hello Families!  I hope that you enjoy learning about our week of fantastic learning this week in spite of the excitement going on right outside of our window!  I am so proud of the children and how they've handled having this potential distraction outside.  It truly is amazing to watch the excavation process though:).  I just want to fill you in on some things coming up that you'll want to know about.

The first is that the second round of conferences is coming up in February.  This conference is optional unless I contact you to schedule one.  If I don't contact you but you have questions or concerns that you want to meet with me about please let me know of one of the following dates and times that work best for you.

            February 11th                                     February 17th
              4:00-4:15                                             4:00-4:15
              4:20-4:35                                             4:20-4:35
              4:40-4:55                                             4:40-4:55
              5:45-6:00                                             5:45-6:00
              6:05-6:20                                             6:05-6:20
              6:25-6:40                                             6:25-6:40

The second important tidbit of information is that the yearbook forms were sent home yesterday.  This will be the only way to order a yearbook for your child.  Please return the completed form to me by the due date if you'd like to purchase one for your child.

Finally, I will be sending book orders out for January this weekend.  I have also sent the book orders for February.  There are a lot of great books in this order and a few that I'm going to purchase for the class:)

Have a great weekend!

They have made a cool creation out of pattern blocks.  


She made a queen's chair out of pattern blocks.

We made a garden out of pattern blocks.

He made a flower out of pattern blocks.




She made a bed out of pattern blocks.  We used shapes to make new shapes.  


He made a water fountain out of pattern blocks.  It is supposed to be a circle and then he decided to make it a fountain.  
This is the day that we made Martin Luther King and wrote about his dream.  Martin Luther King married Coretta Scott.  Martin Luther King was shot by James Earl Ray.  He did this because he didn't grow up with enough love in his heart or good character.    

They are researching on the human body.  This is their project for Imagination Station.  They are researching the human body on Pebble Go.  

We learned about tally marks and we used five popsicle sticks to make people to show a way to make them that isn't boring like when you just write them down in pencil.  The blue paper is our homework to learn more about tally marks when you walk around your house.  They look like sticks with faces on them but they are actually tally marks.  Everyone is catching the fifth tally mark:)
