Week 17

We had such a great time at the Nature Center last week!  It was cold, but we bundled up and hardly noticed it.  Take a look at what we saw and did.


We learned how to be proactive when riding a bus.


Thank you to Dilan's mom for coming with us!




We saw eagles and snakes.




We learned about how animals congregate to keep warm in the winter and how their body coverings help protect and keep them warm and safe.


We fit our whole class in an eagle's nest!












We made pine cone feeders.










We pretented to be bears and climbed through a bear den.


Then we came back to school and wrote about what we saw.

MATH
On Tuesday we will finish up our math unit on measurement.  We will be taking the assessment on Wednesday.  We have learned how to measure using many different methods and objects.  We have learned the vocabulary; long, longer, short, shorter, tall, and taller.  


We have also been busy practicing patterning using many different kinds of objects.  We can make AB, ABC, AAB, and many other types of patterns.  I can’t wait to see how the children use this knowledge to decorate their graham cracker houses, next week.



SIGHT WORDS
A new set of sight words/high frequency words(yellow), came home in your child's homework folder today.  Please cut them apart and start practicing them, daily. Keep them in your snap word baggie with your other words.

STEM Graham Cracker Houses
We now have enough supplies for our project, next week.  THANK YOU for all of your donations!!!
The children are still busy earning pennies to buy their supplies.  Ask your child how many pennies they earned each day and what they did to earn them.

Have a fabulous week!
