Recess Pictures

I found many recess pictures that I forgot to post in the spring. These pictures make me smile as well as miss all the sweet students from our room 208 family.

 

Subway Pictures

As we talked about in class, the subway is a very common form of transportation in New York. Here are a few pictures of the subway train we've been on each day. This underground train is very fast!

Transportation

Here it is...the double decker bus we talked about in math teams! 

Gabby, is this what you visualized?

We have not had a chance to ride the double decker bus, however, went underground to take the subway each day.

New York

Hello from New York City! I am attending Columbia University's Teachers College this week. Ms. Azzolina, Mrs. Beutin, Mrs. Erickson, Ms. Pichler and I are learning more about being superstar writers. I can't wait to get started with writing at Wilson School!

We haven't had a chance to see anything besides the university yet. I will post some interesting pictures soon. Pease write me a note on this blog!

iMovies from Inquiry Night

For iMovie viewing, go to http://www.wilsoninquiry.wikispaces.com/

There are two places labeled "Gosch." One will give you access to the class iMovie and the other will give you access to individual student movies. Enjoy!

The Very Hungry Caterpillars!

The caterpillars have doubled in size in two short days. We infer that they'll change soon as we've observed them climbing to the top of the container. Thanks to Gabby for providing a perfect home for our second praying mantis. If both stayed in the same container, one would eat the other! Thanks to Mitchell, Natalie, and Natalia for the praying mantis food or information.

Insects Alive!

Today our caterpillars were quite active. We noticed a big change in their size and saw several exoskeletons!

The praying mantis' hatched...hundreds of tiny, jumpy insects. We have two in our classroom container. Students have two homework tasks tonight; bring in a tiny insect to feed to the praying mantis if you can find any, research what a praying mantis might eat!

The caterpillars are here!

We have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Painted Lady larvae for our insect inquiry unit. In fact, we've been taking turns going to the office to check my mailbox. Today we were excited to start our insect journals and document our observations. Our vertical team (Ms. Azzolina's, Mrs. Isensee's, and Mrs. Kargus' classes) are studying the changes taking place with ladybug larvae, ants, butterfly larvae, meal worms, and the praying mantis. We are looking forward to our praying mantis hatching any day.
