I just found this cool website where you can make videos and

share them. It only took five minutes!

Super Dad's Breakfast

I tried to find everyone at the breakfast, but it was fairly crowded. Everyone seemed to be having a wonderful time. Thanks to all the Dads and special role models for sharing this breakfast with your Kennerly student.

Snowpeople/occupations

                                                   We read a book titled,
                          All You Need For a Snowman.

                                                Then everyone made a 
                      Snowperson dressed 
                      as having a certain 
                      occupation.

                    Then they wrote about their 
                    Snowperson.

Rockwoods Reservation

                                          We are observing how Native Americans and Colonial
                                          Americans used to turn Sugar Maple sap into maple syrup
                                          or maple sugar.

                                         Here we are observing how people would make maple
                                          syrup today.
                                       

                                          Here we are tasting maple syrup candy! YUM!

                                       

                                         Here we are in the sugar bush trying to figure out how
                                          to identify a Sugar Maple tree.

                                         Tasting tree sap!!

                                          Looking inside the bucket that is collecting sap. The lid
                                          is to keep out rain water and MOST of the bugs.

                                          Getting safety directions before sitting around the fire.

                                         MMMM Smell that smoke!

These are the first grade spelling contestants. Congratulations to all of them, especially our own Chloe Ake. We were all surprised that a second grader actually won the spelling bee!

Our student teacher started today. Here we are getting to know her a little better. She came here from Bosnia when she was in fifth grade. Her name is Klara Mijotavic.
Her last name phonetically is: Meotavich. We are so excited to have her!

My daughter Anna, was our guest speaker today. She taught the students about Chinese New Year. This is the year of the Dragon.

   The students had a chance to speak some Chinese and write some Chinese characters.
