A Busy Start to October

We have been traveling all through the town learning about our community and the people who help us.  We went to the Hylebos Wetlands Park and took a hike through the forest to observe this unique habitat to birds, tadpoles, and even coyotes (no worries, none were spotted on the journey!!).  Last week we went to the firehouse and climbed all over the fire truck.  Yesterday, we ventured to Seattle to see Pippi Longstocking.  The Bumblebees loved it!

Back in the classroom, we are applying our math skills to keep track of our food drive donations.  The Bumblebees have sorted, counted and tallied mark each food item to date.  They get so excited walking around the school collecting donations. In addition, we are also exploring place value, understanding the value of each number in our base 10 system.

There has been a new addition in our classroom this week.  The Bumblebees have been so interested in having a post office so we built one!  Costumes included.  I hope to take this group to the Post Office this week, as well as having them help transport our donations to the Edgewood Food Bank to be weighed and shelved.  More info as I finalize dates and times for these events.
