#1 Favorite Spot: Sunflower Plants
We have been learning about the life cycle of plants. We planted sunflower seeds so we could watch seeds grow. It has been an awesome experience. We have recorded observations in our Sunflower Science Books. Unfortunately we were not able to successfully build a garden in the ground outside our classroom. However, the boys and girls are very excited to take their sunflowers home on Friday before Spring Break! If you have any questions about how to keep the sunflowers growing feel free to leave your question on this blog or send me an e-mail! P.S.- The sunflowers can grow up to TEN FEET TALL!!
#2 Favorite Spot: Caterpillar Cave
While learning about life cycles we talked about butterflies. Mrs. Goff's daughters built a tent which we now call The Caterpillar Cave. When students finish their work early they take turns reading quietly in the Caterpillar Cave. It is very exciting and the students LOVE it!!
#3 Favorite Spot: Writing table and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Board
We read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom at the beginning of the year. During Literacy Centers students "write the room." The students love to write their classmates' names and this board really helps! The Writing Table is used for students to work on vocabulary and free write during Exploration Stations. Hanging above the Writing Table is our Wonderful Work Board where we post awesome student work!
#4 Favorite Spot: Word Wall and cubbies
The Word Wall is brilliant! Students always refer to the Word Wall throughout the day. It is a great tool to have in our classroom. During writing it has been really awesome to see students help each other spell by pointing out specific word wall words that other students are trying to include in their stories. It has been a great addition to the classroom. Tied for fourth place is our cubbies. Each student has their own cubby where they keep their belongings such as their book bag, coats and other personal items.

#5 Favorite Spot: Cooking
Cooking is one of the students' favorite Exploration Stations! It is a great spot in the classroom because students are being exposed to different foods and food groups. Students are exploring creating meals, writing out ingredients and working together.They are also able to explore acting out scenarios which is critical to students' personal and emotional growth :)
What is your favorite spot that you see in our classroom?!
