The Little Red Hen
What better way to retell a story than to make a story board. We have some budding artists in our classroom. What precious animals they drew! They loved adding the speech bubbles to their animal. Everyone in the whole class had their very own part. This was one of the activities we did in our study of fairy tales.
patterns
Wow! You can see how sophisticated we have become making patterns. Now they are 3 dimensional. In the next couple of weeks, we are going to do additive patterns as well as number patterns (counting by 10's, 5's, and 2's). Stay tuned to see those!
observational writing
In writing, we are using tree maps to help us get ideas for observational writing. Students are being really creative to come up with some of their own ideas.
Observable Properties
As scientist, we are learning to observe objects by mass, size, color, texture, and shape. We had fun using these properties to observe a rubber ducky and a small ball.
