What Happened This Week...
- We had a WONDERFUL time on the field trip. We learned so much and had fun, even with the drizzly weather! Thank you to our volunteers who helped us make it a successful trip!
Riding on the bus!
Pig Races
Watching the milking demonstration
Pumpkin Demonstration
Hayride Tour of the Farm
Exhausted after a great day!
- Our class discussed that writers write stories that are true and have three parts (beginning, middle, and end). We practiced telling our stories "across our fingers" and then told our stories to a friend. After, we wrote our stories down. I was so impressed at how our students are putting words together to make sentences and stretching out sounds of words they don't know. They did a GREAT job!
- We read Roller Coaster. We discussed the beginning, middle, and end of the story, as well as the story elements. We are getting really good at discussing books with each other.
- Our class reviewed numbers 11-20 and put them in order.
- We investigated how things move. We used objects to slide & roll. We also learned about pushes and pulls. We used movement to create ice cream in a bag. Through our investigation, we learned that the ice cream won't be solid if it doesn't move enough (but it still tastes good!).
- We enjoyed Mario's mom being our Mystery Reader this week! She read us a Pete the Cat story that we all loved. Thanks, Ms. Bell!
