Let's give a warm Navigator welcome to these new students of Room 206!

Acting Safely

Being Responsible

Congrats to these four! How did I choose all BOYS?

Our class earned the Golden Clock for having the least amount of tardies. We also earned the Golden Dust Pan because we keep our room clean. Yay! Team Navigators.

Kelso's Choices

Kelso comes to our classroom to help us learn about choices we have when we have problems.

Hello, Kelso and Floppy Jay!

What are your favorite choices to use? Mine is Ignore and walk away.

Go to another game.

Talk it out.

Share and take turns.

Ignore it.

Walk away.

Tell them to stop.

Apologize.

Make a deal.

Wait and cool off.

Mrs. Hurt, our counselor, helps us decide if we have a big problem or a small problem.

The big problems need an adult to help solve.

A small problem, is something we can fix ourselves with Kelso's Choices.

 

Kelso and Mariner Moose are working on some playground issues together.

Bat Lady Barb

Bat Lady Barb came to visit us here at Emerald Park!

She showed us the Flying Fox which is a fruit bat and the largest bat.

The Flying Fox bat can have a wing span of 6 feet!

This is the Spotted Bat which lives in Washington.

These bats hide in the leaves in the rainforests. Other bugs and spiders live in these leaves with the bats, too.

The difference between the Flying Fox and the smallest bat the Bumble Bee Bat.

These bats are so unique. Look at their eyes, ears and faces.

Can you see the bat nose going into the flower? Look at all that pollen on his nose.

When that bat comes out of that flower, it will have pollen all over its nose. Then she will fly to another flower to eat the nectar and will pollinate that flower.

All of these fruits grow on trees that are pollinated by bats. Without bats, we would not have such delicious fruits.

Roberto the Little Brown Bat

Cleobatra the Hoary bat. She has blonde tips, that's why she is called a hoary bat. Hoary means gray/white or snowy.

Did you know nuts and gum come from trees that bats pollinate?

Former bats that are now on display.

A big thanks to Barb Odegarrd for coming to visit with us. Her knowledge about bats is amazing. Her energy and enthusiasm excites us. Seeing her live bats from her bat hospital thrills us. The

old- fashioned slide show projector she uses is fun to see because we don't usually get to see that type of technology these days, and those slides of bats she demonstrates are just amazing. We are very lucky, indeed!

December Birthday

Happy birthday!

Harvest Party

Mr. and Mrs. Standlee bought each child a bag of Skittles as our gift. 

What might be more fun than eating Skittles? Why, graphing them of course. 

Thank you to all the parents who sent treats for our party. 

Thanks to Dr. Robyn for coming to help out in the classroom during the party.
