Friday's Field Trip

We will be leaving soon after the students arrive at school. We will be taking a bus to Red Oak and go to their new theatre to watch a play of Ruby and Max. We will return to school before lunch.

Weather

This week we talked about the weather and came up with several weather words. We created clouds to go with our story by Eric Carl.

We watched the Magic School Bus and listened for the 3 things that make up our weather. Air, Heat, and Water.

Drawing insects- coloring insects- labeling the parts of our insects

This week we are celebrating Eric Carl's 40th year as a children's author and we are also going to be looking at insects.

We are going to be learning the different body parts of the insect and they life cycle of an insect.

Eggs

We studied eggs last week. We learned the parts of the egg: yolk, egg white, and shell. KB got to explore the eggs with thier hands feeling the egg parts.

They also go to do a lot of math with them, figuring out how much they wieghed and how much space they take up.

Math: Money
KB is working hard at recognizing coins and counting with them. Please don’t be too surprised if they ask you to play with money at home. KB is working on counting by 5’s, 10’s and 1’s all the way to 100.

Reading: Wow they have taken off!
KB is working hard on reading and their fluency. We will start back at their guided reading in April. Reading everyday is important, the more the read and the more they are read to, the more fluent they can read. Parents keep up the good work!
