Our Week Of Learning

We are busy growing all kinds of things in our classroom....chicks, corn, sunflowers and most importantly kindergartners. (We are almost ready to bloom into first graders)

When we got to school on Monday we noticed our seeds were sprouting!

We celebrated Cinco de Mayo this week!  We had fun with a little Mexican addition and salsa!

We pulled out some playing cards to brush up on our addition.

We were all about  plants this week. We made our own flowers and labeled the different parts.

We had a blast playing Twister with our sight words.

We learned about the life cycle of a plant.

On Friday Jennifer Sharp Knott visited us from the high school and candled our chick eggs.  It looks like we have the potential for ten chicks to hatch!

I got some sweet notes and gifts this week. Thanks for making my week so special.

We enjoyed our last field trip of the year. Everyone loved the play Henry and Mudge.

 This will be our last regular blog post of the year.  I will be taking a break to work on our special  end of the year slide show. I hope you have enjoyed watching us learn and grow this year.

 Stay tuned for chick updates!

Our Week Of Learning

Our week was pretty exciting!  We  had a blast doing some egg experiments.

We estimated how much string it would take to go around an egg.

We counted how many teddy bear counters and snap cubes it took to equal the weight of an egg.

We described the outside and inside of an egg.

We learned about ways to help our Earth be a better place.

We sorted pictures of things that were helpful to the Earth and things that were harmful.

We enjoyed playing a pass the plate sight word game.

We worked as a team and put scrambled sight word sentences in order.

We went outside on another day for a fun sight word review.  We had to find all the different sight words on the tennis court and  high light them on our paper.

We worked together to build great sentences during guided reading.

We kept with our  Earth Day theme  and created addition problems using  our recycle bin and recycled newspapers.

We enjoyed the nice weather this week.  We ate lunch outside one day.

We took a nice walk around the track on another day.

We planted sunflower and corn seeds this week.  Once they sprout we will add them to our garden.

We predicted which seed will sprout first.

A big thanks to our sixth grade friends for filling up our garden with some fresh soil.

We read The Little Red Hen on Friday and made Mayo Bread. 

Thanks for donating to Cystic Fibrosis.  We LOVE you Ella!

Have a wonderful weekend.
