A Blue Day

Almost everyone was on blue today. We had art we drew more insects. We had outside recess it was fun. It was muddy outside. We are going to have extra recess. We worked on our pop-up book. Today we added butterfly information. We learned about butterflies from a book. We talked about fractions in math by matching smaller shapes to a whole square shape. We watched our new ant farm. They have begun one tunnel so far.

Rainy Tuesday

Today we learned about bees. We read an informational book about bees and made a page about them in our pop up book. For science we watched a reading rainbow show about how honeybees make honey and their lifecycle. For math we reviewed symmetry. We made symetrical flowers and butterflies. Because of the rain we had indoor recess. In art we drew insects and had to make them look real.

A Fun Day!

We read about ants. We have an ant habitat, now we need ants! We brought an old bird bath to he courtyard so the turtle can have water. We are going to work on a shelter for the turtle. In math we counted how many chairs are in our room. We were suprised to learn that we have 40 chairs!

Turtle Tuesday

We saw the box turtle that lives in the courtyard. Then we went to the computer lab and wrote about the turtle. We started our insect pop-up book. We read about animals on a cool new website called pebblego.com. I had fun!

A Warm Monday

We read a book about insect information. We sang a song about insect body parts. We wrote about our weekend news. We started a list of insects for the catagory. We had P.E. We played scooter hockey. Mr. Barnhart reminded us field day is June 4th. How was your weekend?

A Sticky Friday

When we were outside we got so sweaty we felt sticky. We made a flip book about a rainbow garden. Today felt like a wacky day because we came in late and did things out of order. In music we made a band. We had lunch after writers' workshop. In math we learned about time and clocks. We played a clock game. We found a new website about animal information.

Goodbye to the Chicks

The chicks are a week old now. Their wings are getting strong and they are getting tail feathers. We see them jump at the side of the wash tub. This means it is time for them to go home with Ms. Jones and live on her farm. We had a lot of fun watching the chicks grow. We will really, really miss them.

Monday Work

In the afternoon it started raining. Today we saw that the chicks are growing pin feathers on their wings. We made a graph. We read The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle and wrote about the story. We all helped share the pen and write our own story called Kindergarten's Enormous Pumpkin. We had outdoor recess and in P.E. we did the Cha-Cha Slide and played a hockey game.

A Cool Friday

We have a new friend in our class. Last night 7 more eggs hatched. Now we have 8 chicks. We played outside in the beautiful sun. We went to library and got new books. We had a good lunch.

A Chick Hatched

Our first egg hatched last night! So when we came to school this morning we had a BIG surprise! 6 more eggs have a pip on them so maybe tomorrow we will be surprise with more chicks.

A Fun Wednesday

One of our froglet came out and sat on a rock out of the water! He stayed there for a long time so we got a good look at him. He jumped in to the water. We wrote a number story in math about our fish picture. We watched the second graders do their gym show.

A Busy Day at School

We made a subtraction stories with goldfish crackers, then we got to eat them! We went to the computer lab and everyone wrote on the blog. We noticed one of our tadpoles is a froglet...his tail is soooooooo small! The froglet came out and sat on a rock. In small groups we re-read our books and put them in our book baggies. We read a book about filling buckets.

Flower Life Cycle

Last week we learned about how a flower grows. Now this week our vocabulary catagory is flowers. Read what we learned about flowers.

Cold Rainy Monday

We used an egg shell to plant grass seed. We put a face on the shell so when the grass grows it will look like green hair. It was raining hard today so we had indoor recess. We read The Carrot Seed and we sequenced the story in writing workshop. We now have 4 tadpoles with front legs. The tadpoles are changing. Their tails are getting shorter, their eyes are bulging, and their mouths are looking like a frogs mouth.
