Good-bye to Miss Symons

On Wednesday we had to say our good-byes to Miss Symons.  Everyone was extremely sad that she would be leaving us, but we know that she'll be back plenty of times to visit!  We wanted to prepare her well for her future in teaching and let her know how much she meant to us so we did a lot of nice things for her.  With the 302 Scholar family's help we collected school supplies and books to get her own classroom started.  She was so appreciative of our thoughtfulness!  We also made her a scrapbook where every Scholar had their own two pages.  We told her what we'll always remember about her, our favorite lesson she taught, and a tip for when she has her own classroom.  Lastly, we all signed a copy of Oh, The Places You'll Go by Dr. Seuss and recorded our voices as we read the book to her.  Thank you, Miss Symons for an amazing year!!!

Christmas Polar Express Party

Before winter break we had a party! We had hot chocolate & breakfast. The Scholars (us) watched The Polar Express movie! Then we compared & contrasted the book & movie. Also we demonstrated our posters that we created.

Hope you had a wonderful break!!!!

Thermal Camera

We were lucky to have Henry's dad stop by and share his homemade thermal camera with us. The 302 Scholars waited patiently to have their photos taken and then checked out the thermal results! A huge thank you goes out to Mr. Schneider for sharing his cool (or should we say warm?) camera with us!
