Our focus book of the week was Animal Babies ABC. Our sight words were "on" and "play". We worked on First, Next, Then and Last in our writing journals.
In science, we continued our talk about polar animals. This week, our animal was the penguin. We once again created a schema chart about the penguin.
We read books non-fiction about penguins. We created our own All About Penguins book, even designing our own cover.
We also enjoyed some nonfiction books about Tacky the Penguin.
We made a penguin craft.
The blubber experiment was lots of fun! We made a blubber glove and tested to see which hand could stay in the ice the longest. Now we understand how these polar animals stay warm.
In math, we continued learning about 3D shapes. We applied our learning as we created 3D shapes out of marshmallows and toothpicks.
We continued learning about famous Black Americans too. Here are a few of the books that we read.
Our 100th day of school is next week. I am still in need of items to make our snack. Please check out the wish list tab of this blog's home page and e-mail what you can bring. Also, I am still in need of Tile Time volunteers. If you can help out, please e-mail with your day preference. It will be either on Monday, Tuesday or Friday from 11:15-12:15. Right now, I have one vote for Monday, one for Tuesday and two on Friday. I would love to have 4 volunteers if possible. The majority will win.
