Earning Pennies for Market
The
Yellow Pod will be having a market in April.
We will be making ocean items to sell to other classes. The children will also have a chance to go to
the other classes to buy items that they have made. The children will have an
opportunity to earn pennies for the market.
We have been learning about banks and money. We read Bennie’s Penny’s, Curious George Saves His Pennies, and Ben’s
Saving’s Account. We brainstormed
ways that the children can earn money at school. We also brainstormed some fines. The children have to give me pennies if they
get a fine. We created a bank in our classroom.

We had a Valentine Box Decorating Contest. Each child in the class
participated and created some incredible boxes. The category winners were:

Field Trip to AHS Aquatics Lab
Our class took a field trip over to the Auburn High School's Aquatics Lab. What a treasure it was for our young inquiring minds. We saw many different kinds of turtles and fish, an eel, a starfish, and coral. We want to give a very special thanks to Mr. Stan Arington and his students at AHS. Here a few pictures from the trip.
The 100th Day of School
To celebrate the 100th day of school, the Yellow Pod did many activities with the number 100.
In Mrs. Mims' classroom we had a 100 Hershey Kiss hunt.
In Miss Mac's classroom we made 100th day crowns.
