Welcome to 2011-2012!!!!

It is my pleasure and honor to welcome you to the 2011-2012 school year! I am so excited for what we have in store this year! The Stanford Trees are already off to a great start, and I have loved every moment I've had with them so far!

Here's a sneak-peak of the classroom before the students arrived:












We have already kicked off our Penguin Unit! Thanks so much to those of you who sent back your Home-School Communication form about Penguins! It was so fun learning about your knowledge of penguins, and how much you have to share with your kiddos!

Make sure to ask your student what new facts they are learning about penguins. We are working hard to collect facts each day in our explorations.

Here's a photo from one of our favorite activities with penguins this week, a penguin/human compare/contrast pictorial:
I can't wait to post more photos of our superstars working so hard as scientists, readers, writers and thinkers!
