A fun week!

At APEC learning about mammals

This week we went to Alley Pond Environmental Center. The students were able to learn about mammals, and birds, and also took a nature walk to explore different types of habitats of animals.  The students also were able to touch live animals and explore the area.

When we were outside we looked at different animal prints and also observed nests in nature.

This week in class we also observed different winter activites and created mittens in art. We also made slime that was almost like snow.

Also this week we continued with our math games more is best and less is best.
We also worked on comparing large and small numbers and teen numbers


Today in honor or MLK day and his birthday on Monday we talked about how to treat others nicely and what peace is and how we can make the world a better place. We started with two eggs a brown egg and a white egg and discussed how even though we are different on the outside we all are the same on the inside.
