We have been working hard learning different blends and word families. We have brainstormed and written words beginning with th- and words that belong to the -unk word family. Try and make a list of th- and -unk words. You can either write your answers on a piece of paper or answer on the blog. You may get to be the caboose in line and turn out the lights and shut the door everytime we leave the room for a day.
We have been talking about zoos and zoo animals. Everyday we have visited zoo webcams hoping to see the animals we have been talking about in class. We saw a ferret and panda. We watched the zoo keeper feed the penquins. We also saw an elephant. If you would like to visit this website and visit several zoo cams around the world the website is listed below- have fun!!!!!
This week we talked about speech bubbles. We also talked about different farm animals. If you can draw 5 farm animals and add speech bubbles with the sound that each animal makes you will receive a reward. The reward for this assignment is being line leader for the day!
Insects have been our focus for this week. We discussed the parts of the insect. We talked about different kinds of insects. On Wednesday we discussed the life cycle of a butterfly. On that day we decorated a clothespin to be our caterpillar. We put it in a brown lunch bag to represent a chrysalis. The next day we opened our sacks to find a beautiful butterfly made from a coffee filter. See our butterflies!
This is the time of the year when we plant a garden. We have talked about the different parts of a plant and how they grow. We read the story, Tops and Bottoms as part of our unit. We talked about what part of the plant we eat of certain vegetables. Together we made a mural and wrote one interesting fact about our vegetables.
