PJs, Tours, and much more!


The Owls entered the classroom full of excitement and joy, and of course wearing their pajamas!
For Morning Meeting, friends took out their rest mats to sit on.



After Morning Meeting, the Owls headed over to 2nd Grade for their Egypt Tour.
Each Owl paired up with a 2nd grader for a tour.





Friends enjoyed looking at all of the work and listening to interesting details and facts.








Once our tour was over, we came back to the classroom for some Choice Time, and a delicious snack of waffles!













Friends gave the waffles a thumbs up!












Andrea visited our classroom, along with the Cardinals and Catbirds, to read a book.
Friends enjoyed coming together and listening to the story.






We ended our gathering with a Disco Dance Party!

Ask your Owl what they enjoyed most about Pajama Day.

Irish Potato Day!


The Owl's started their Morning off in Music Class. Friends paired up to make movements to a song. 



Next, friends played a game where one friend went in the middle and covered their eyes while the other friends hid four leaf clovers. Once all the clovers were hidden, the friend in the center listened to see where the chime was coming from which was a clue as to where the clover was hiding. 











To finish up Music class, Aedien taught friends an Irish dance which friends LOVED learning!








After Music, friends headed back to our room where we had Morning Meeting and a Moment of Silence. During Morning Meeting, Danielle told friends a story about her family's tradition growing up and being Irish. Danielle gets together with her mom and sisters every year before St. Patricks Day to make hundred of Irish Potatoes, so they can hand them out to their family, neighbors and friends. To continue with Danielle's family's tradition, The Owls helped Danielle make Irish Potatoes during Choice Time to hand out to our friends at school! Here is her family's "secret" recipe!







During Choice Time, friends were able to help make the Irish Potatoes, draw, build with the magnatiles or play with the trains. 























After Choice Time, friends headed to Library where Michelle read us two books! Ask your Owl if they remember the titles of either of the stories.  To finish up our morning, friends went around school and delivered their delicious treats to people around school!
