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.

How much will it hold?

Today we were measuring to see how much different containers could hold.  We used different container like orange juices bottles, grape juice jugs, baby food jars, buckets and vinegar bottles.  We compared the containers based on how much they would hold.  In math we ordered some pieces of string from longest to smallest to practice measuring lengths
We sang a new song in music about a ship sinking.  Ask us to sing it for you tonight.We practiced measuring distances

Long Ago Artifacts

Today we built a way for Rapunzel to get down from he tower.  Some of us built parachutes, some built zip lines and some built slides.
We looked at some old artifacts today like a butter making block and a buckets that they would use to haul water.  We wrote about how our life would be the same or different if we lived long ago.  Like if we lived long ago we would travel in a wagon now we travel in a car.  Long ago the sewed or knit their own quilts and we just buy them at a store.
We had our last dance practice today and tomorrow is the family dance.

Elephant and Piggie

Today We wrote the first page of our lost pet story today.  Today we just introduced our characters.  We did great writing.  Lots of groups presented their Elephant and Piggie books to our class.  When we read the book to our class one of us was Elephant and one of us was Piggie.  We  practiced making our voice go up at the question marks and reading big words louder when we were reading
We practiced drawing different bugs like a dragonfly, ladybug, fly and butterfly.  Because our next unit in Science is about needs of plants and animals
We had dance and now we only 1 more practice with Miss Nicky because the dance is on Thursday.  One of our moves is a jump and cross then jump again.  It looks really cool when we do it together
In music we learned how to count to 10 in spanish in a song ask us to sing it for you tonight.  We also did a note test and we had to decide which note Mr. Hibber sang.

Babies All ...

Today we added some more pictures for our book that we are writing about a lost pet.  Today we drew pictures about 3 places we looked for our pet and where we finally found him. 
We practiced our Umbrella dance with Ms. Nicky in the gym.  If we come to the family dance next week we need to bring an umbrella
We talked about take away today.  When you take away you need to put the big number first.
We played a game with cards where we needed to each turn over two cards and whoever had the biggest number gets all 4 cards.  Ask us to teach it to you tonight.
Two people told us about theirs baby stories.  We are noticing that all of us liked to sleep eat and poop when we were babies! 
We are bringing a field trip form home tonight for our mom and dad to sign.
