Wow! What a week!
Our days follow a very nice pattern...
8:30-arrival
9:00-10:00 stations...
and here we are making crocodile/alligator projects:
My table was mostly housekeeping items...
folders, hats, bookmarks
Miss Abby played a logic game called "SNAP"
Suzy, Kelsey's mom, volunteered on Monday!
Her project was these adorable dot crocs!
Ms. Jenny helped with 2 croc projects...
While we are wainting our turn at stations we have free choice time!
We love love love our new safari hats!

One of my favorite parts of the day is independent book time! What good readers they have become!
Thursday's stations included:
Ms. Annie measured our hands against gorilla's large hands!
Gorilla hands are around 12 inches in length.
We discovered that ours are much smaller coming in at about 5 inches!
Mrs. Gnadt taught us about the levels of the rain forest:
forest floor, understory, canopy, emergent
My table worked on big beautiful jaguars!
Miss Abby and Ms. Jenny worked together to help kiddos get their picture frames finished.
