Playground + rocks + kids = questions
What are the questions?
Imagine, look at the ground covered in rocks,
Some are red, white, dotted, black,
Some are several colors mashed together,
There are sharp, pointy rocks
There are smooth, round rocks,
There are little hands gathering rocks,
There are big eyes discovering rocks.
Then a little murmur......
Why?
Why?
Why?
What makes them different?
Why are they different?
How did this happen?
How come this one is dark inside and light outside?
Why is this rock all colors?
Why is this rock so ROUGH?
Why is this rock smoooooth?
Why, why, why, why, why?
I enjoy questions! Don't you?
The quest to find the answers
Take us on a journey of learning.
We read. We view.
We listen. We communicate.
We evaluate.
We experiment and we watch.
We explore and we learn.
I enjoy questions! Don't you?

Questions?

Where do questions come from?
Questions come
From stories, picture books,
Nonfiction books, vocabulary words,
Posters, pictures, videos,
Maps and a globe, discussions,
Minds of children, ideas tumbling,
And then the questions?
What is this?
How does it work?
What is this animal called?
Is it cold or warm blooded?
What does it eat?
Where does it live?
And then the SEARCH begins.
But in the end the answers thoughtfully
considered cause MORE questions!
Our class enjoys asking questions!

Pickles was a very special panda. He lived in a condo with his best friend Mike Monkey. They were members of the 'Three R's'. They went around to many places talking about our Earth and how to protect it.
Pickles was very aware of the changes in our world and how fast we use up our food, plants, water and land. He wanted to help everyone learn that we must protect our planet Earth.
Mike made up a cheer to teach children the about the 'Three R's' .
The cheer went -
Reduce, reuse, recycle
The Three R's are the key.
Reduce, reuse, recycle
Try it and you will see!
If we all do our best.
We can win our quest!
Reduce, reuse, recycle
The Three R's are the key.

Cold, cold, cold!
Ice, ice, icy!
Snow, snow, snowbanks,
Big and small,
Up to windows,
Over fences!
Cold, really cold, super cold!
Windy, snowy, frosty, slippery,
Yet the sun shines,
Minus 21!
Indoor recess,
Stay inside,
Staying warm,
No outdoor play!
First day of Spring 2013!
Time to drink hot chocolate!

Sunny, warm,
Flowers, green grass,
Ants, butterflies, ladybugs and bees.
Bunny rabbits and frogs singing,
Spring!
Running in the sun,
Riding on my bike,
Playing road hockey or
catch with my friends,
Spring!
Rain, rain, rain,
Wet flowers, wet grass,
Wet everything!
Clouds, sun, rainbow,
Spring!

Wild winds,
Blustery breezes,
Slippery snow,
Shiny sun,
Riotous rain,
Clumping clouds,
Weather!
What is the weather today?
What is the weather this month?
Is the weather like the gentle lamb?
Is the weather roaring like a lion?
We are reporting weather!
Lamb or lion?
Your guess or mine?
