Here's a look back at our adventures from Thursday, March 27th...
The Bad News: Our beta fish, Rainbow Fish, met the same fate as our other fish! So for now, we are a fishless classroom. We will see what shows up next...
The Good News: We had another exciting Science class! The class learnt more about structures and had the opportunity to create their own using food! Their choice of 'materials' were lasagna noodles, marshmallows, crackers, toothpicks, candy hearts, and icing for glue. There were a few interesting bridges, houses, and a cake display at a birthday party.
Some examples:
Coming Soon: A new class book that will show off each creative structure and the stories that each student told to go with them!
In math, we took a little look back at patterns as a review. My aim was to encourage students to decorate an Easter egg picture using a pattern. They will become a part of our new Spring bulletin board!
We also read the next story from The 7 Habits of Happy Kids and discussed the habit of thinking win-win. The students seemed to really understand the concept. The story was about a girl who wanted to grow a vegetable garden. Her mom didn't believe that she realized how much work it would be and said no. However, she really wanted to make the garden a reality so she wrote her mom a note. She promised that she would do the work required and her mom would get fresh vegetables to eat! Her mom agreed. In the end, everyone was happy. The young squirrel got to have her garden and the whole family had fresh, healthy food to eat.
We ended the day with a game of Fastest Sight Word in the West. Students then worked on a trace, write, and glue activity to practice some common sight words. We are building our emergent reading skills, which is very exciting. I love to see students excited about reading and writing!
Alright, now we'll have to see what adventures unfold tomorrow! :)
