Tulips

On Friday we planted tulips for Red Ribbon Week. Every student in the whole school is planting one as a promise to be drug free. When they come up in April they will remind us of our promise.
Miss Jaster's dad came out to help us since he knows a thing or two about gardening.

First we had to dig a hole & fill it with soil and plant food.

Then we put our tulip bulbs as far down in the hole as we could,
covering them with more dirt and pant food.

Then we poured some water over them.

Then we added even more soil.

Maybe we just wanted to play in the dirt?

Dallas finishes filling up his hole with dirt.
All ready to grow now!

I think these guys were tired of digging!

Pig House Project

As an extension to the story in our reading book, "The Three Little Cyberpigs,"
each year we challenge the 4th graders to create their own house out of materials they have around. The house had to protect the 3 pigs from the wolf. Here are this year's submissions.

Jonah's House of Toast. This was a favorite of many.

Bailey used cardboard & tinfoil.

Marco's house had get-away cars!

Sabrina used wax covered paper cups.

Adam's house was camouflaged to hide it from the wolf.

Arianna's house had barred windows to keep that wolf out!
I really love the pop can tabs across the top!

Brett made the piggies a high rise apartment.

Katarina's pig house had a cool interior like a maze to confuse the wolf!

Gavino's house had a device at the door to "clothesline" the wolf if he tried to get in.

Dallas used fire to keep his wolf at bay,
see him trying to sneak down the chimney?

Bubble wrap and Styrofoam make the wolf bounce right off this house by Leanna.

Shilaine used leaves to camouflage her house form the prying eyes of the wolf.

Tynen covered his house with funny papers so the wolf will laugh himself away!

Daelyn made a tepee for her piggies, complete with a rug that she wove herself!

Nichole's house was made of wood and mud and was guarded by a fierce army of doggies.
