4 Seasons

Today we wrote about the seasons and picked which season is our favourite.  We know that when the world tips towards the sun it is hotter (summer) and when we tip away from the sun it is colder or winter.  We know the 4 seasons are fall, spring, winter and summer.  We also wrote what the plants animals and people do in each of those seasons.  We also made tree in art.  Part of the tree was in each of the seasons.  It looked really cool.
We read a book about a butterflies life.  They start as eggs. then they get fatter by eating leaves.  Then they make a Chrysalis and when they hatch they are butterflies.When the butterflies hatch they mate and then they choose a good place to lay their eggs and then the life cycle starts all over again.  The eggs hatch in a few days. 
We wrote a little bit about the last part of Woolbur today.  Part of what we did was describing a picture to our friends.  We talked about things like color, textures.  Then we wrote our predictions about what is going to happen at the end of the story.

Caterpillars in the "J"

Today we made a picture of grass because we are learning about living things in Science.  We made the grass by going outside and rubbing different textures.  If the object was bumpy it made a cool pattern.
We are almost done our lost pet story.  We are excited to finish them and make a cover tomorrow.
In math we made a video about an item for a queen of the Giants Display and the Queen of the queen of the Gnomes displays.  We had fun selecting the items with the iPads.
We watched a video about how a caterpillar gets out of its old skin and inside is a chrysalis.  We have one caterpillar who is in his J and we think will shed his skin soon. 
In music we learned a new song about loosing our hat and a dance to go with it.  Ask us to show you when we come home tonight. 

Measuring Space

In Science we made a carriage for Cinderella.   Some people used wheels and some people used air to blow it across the ground.  We read a book about Cinderella, in one book Cinderella was a boy. 
We showed Ms. Mahan all we know about weight by telling her 3 things we are heavier than and 3 things we are lighter than.We also practiced measuring the space inside boxes today.  We got to pick the material that was best to measure the inside of each box like blocks, erasers or Lego.
We had our last day of mission impossible today.  There was a new thing we could play with, ping pong rackets.
