3/28/08 Fried Rice

This week we have be studying about the Earth and the 7 continents.  Each day we learned about a different continent and wrote about it after wards.  On Thursday for social studies we learned about Asia.  So today for our cooking activity we made fried rice.  It was so good!  Check out the pictures below....

Another Busy Friday...

We had a great Friday!  We started out by making "egg nest" and they were so YUMMY.  Thanks Miss Ridgely for doing such a great job as our "HEAD Chef!!"  Then we all had a chance to color eggs.  I hope everyone remembered to take them out of their bags.  If you smell something funny, check your child's bunny bag.  Lastly, we went on an egg hunt.  Thank you parents for sending in the candy filled eggs.  We had over 500, and each child was allowed to find 20. 

Check out our pictures!

Dental Health Month

February is "National Dental Health Month" so on Friday we had a busy day learning about teeth.  Ms. Ridgely taught us how we can keep our teeth healthy and then we watched a short video on how to keep your teeth clean.  For our cooking activity we used apple slices, marshmallows, and marshmallow topping to make our mouth.  Afterwords, we all learned how to brush our teeth by actually brushing them for 2 minutes.  Check out the great pictures!  Thanks to everyone who brought in an apple...
