A Day at the Beach

Things are starting to get wrapped up around the Superstar classroom. We have started our last project of the year and are looking forward to the last couple weeks together.  It's been an amazing year with great kids.  We'll miss them!

Last week we performed our community service project.  We were asked to pick up litter at Chambers Bay.  It was a beautiful day in sun.  We cleaned up the beach, watched the birds and little critters with our educator from Pierce County, and had lunch in the grass.  It was a great way to put into practice all the things we have been learning about taking care of our environment.

A busy time of year!

We had lots of fun with our artist in residence.

We enjoyed our friends  and the sunshine!

We set up a store to learn about money.

We had the "Superstar Regatta" to race our boats!

The Explorers helped us with our first word processing project.

We released our butterflies and they didn't even stop to say hello.

We painted an ocean mural.

We read with friends. 

The Sharks shared their books with us.

I don't think we could possibly cram one more thing into our week!  Learning and exploring together is a great way to spend a day!

Visit to the Butterfly Exhibit

The Superstars visited the Pacific Science Center as the culmination of our unit on insects.  It was a real treat to wander through the butterfly habitat.  We had several "up close and personal" visits with the butterflies!
