A week of Winners
March 17, 2017
And the winner is ...Mustache Baby!
Each lead learner chose a book to participate in March Book Madness. We have read them all and made it down to ONE. Here is the coolest thing...I am a very NEW Twitter user. I tweeted about Mustache Baby winning the tournament and tagged the author, Bridget Heos. She retweeted and replied to the tweet. How exciting to hear from a real author! Maybe she will continue contact with us.
Lanark
Lanark is such a fabulous field trip. It was 35 degrees when we arrived and our first two rotations were outside. Brrrr! But the learners did not complain a bit. It warmed up to be a lovely day. We experienced so much while we were there. At the pond, learners searched the water for tadpoles, water spiders, and dragonfly nymphs. Next, we went fishing. Many caught fish. Lily was the fishing queen. She caught 3. Next, we participated in live animal presentations. We saw turtles, frogs, salamanders, and snakes. Last, we visited the Discovery Center. It was chalked full of information on bats, bees, birds, and other animals found in our forests.
This is my favorite picture!
Sam kept telling me that I was talking to much and scaring the fish away! Ha! He is a real fisherman!
Winner of most fish caught!

Hoops for Hearts
Congratulations to our class and to you, parents! Our class was the top fundraising class, among the CK and C1 communities. You all raised over $1100. The total raised was $5018 for the American Heart Association. We raised 1/5 of the money total. WOW! The learners were very proud that they had done so much to help other people. We had a friendly tug-of-war between CK and C1. C1 came out on top!!!
Chicks
We are hatching baby chicks. We put 42 eggs in the incubator on Wednesday. In 21 days, we should have a whole lotta chirpin' going on .
