Wish Posters, and much more....

 Nash came up with a creative design for his Wish Poster. For this project, just like the boy in the book And Now Miguel, the students illustrated and wrote about their biggest wishes. 



Lillyana chose to do her Wish Poster about Miguel's wish to go with the men in his family to the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. 


Oliver's wish, like many of ours, was that the coronavirus would go away. 


Destiny illustrated her wish beautifully!


Ira included some cool drawings on his Wish Poster. 


Emma made a very colorful poster showing both her wish and Miguel's.


Cedar fulfilled the requirement for this assignment, to write your wish in creative lettering. 


Nash did the Science project this week, which was to create a model for the human digestive system using a plastic bag. 


Cedar and Jossen were hard at work mashing up food for digestion. 


Athena had some success with her seed growing project!


Oliver made a cool model of a skeleton for last week's Science project on bones. 


Emma shows us just how small the model bone printout was!


Cedar and Jossen did a nice job of showing all the different types of lines and angles that we studied last week, using craft materials. 



Jossen also practiced his knowledge of lines and angles by playing Dominoes.


Elsada also did a nice job of using home materials to make all the different lines and angles that we studied.

TCC and Guadalupe gym field trips and Students of the Month for December and January

Image
Congratulations once again to Caira for winning the Smelly T-Shirt Reading Contest in the Fall. Acknowledgement is also in order for Abby, Willow, and Analyia, who came in close runners up.  Fortunately for everyone, our class is starting up a new Reading Contest for the Spring. The theme is a Reading Marathon. We are now writing our reading logs on "running feet," which we are going to put up around the school and see how far we get! Students will continue to earn stickers, which they can put on their marathon avatars.  Our class went on a fantastic field trip last week to the Talpa Community Center. We got to visit the library, where the students explored new books and read to each other. Thanks to the librarian there, Ms. Lucita, we also got to make tortillas. They came out so tasty, and the students enjoyed eating them for lunch paired with butter, peanut butter, and fresh jam. Feel free to contact me if you want the recipe.  Our class walked to the Guadalupe gymnasium la

Acequia field trip and US State projects

Image
The 3rd grade worked very hard on their US State poster projects. The students created some awesome artwork, and did a great job standing up in front of the class presenting. We also had a field trip recently to the Taos acequia system. The class had a fantastically fun time watching the water flow through the ditches.  The moment when we opened the sluice for the first time this season! We saw some cool wildlife, including peacocks! The class maintained good order while out in the field, as usual.

Trout Release and Hiking Field Trip

Image
It was sad to have to say goodbye to our trout last week, but we think they are better off in their natural habitat. And speaking of habitats, our class was fortunate enough to go with Rivers and Birds to the Columbine-Hondo trail in Red River, where we learned the basics about enjoying wilderness areas responsibly.  Before releasing the trout, our class shared what they had learned with the Kindergarten.  Habitats. A trout's diet. Stages of life of trout. The Nitrogen Cycle. Getting them out of the tank wasn't as easy as we had anticipated.  Hanging out by the fishing pond.  Getting ready to throw out handfuls of food to big, hungry trout.  Getting our feet wet for the actual release.  Lucky catch! Nothing like eating an Italian ice while watching someone else fish.  Ms. Darcy's Italian ices might have been the highlight of the whole trip.  An idyllic setting at the Red River Hatchery. Going over the rules for the trail with Ms. Rebecca.  Stopping for a water break. Explor
