April 4-8

This week it was our turn to say the Pledge of Allegiance and our school pledge on the intercom. 

Here are the carrots we made after reading “The Carrot Seed” last week.  The students colored pictures from the story, and then put them in the correct sequence.

We talked about clouds, and how clouds produce rain. 

After we read “The Little Cloud” we made our own cloud formations, and then wrote about what they looked like!The weather was beautiful this week and the students enjoyed using sidewalk chalk.We had a guest reader and she read The Very Hungry Caterpillar. We made our own caterpillars and drew on the body things we would eat if we were a very hungry caterpillar.

Friday we had a fun playing on the playground.

March 28-April 1

This week we studied about spring and plants. We read The Tiny Seedand talked about all the things that seeds need to grow. Then we prepared our pots…..and planted the seeds…………….and finally made sure that there was plenty of water on the seeds…………………..The pots are now by the window getting sunlight so they will grow. We water them each day…………….and can’t wait to see what grows!

We also read The Carrot Seed and did a really great sequencing activity with the events from the book. Mrs. Abraham’s camera was dead and she didn’t take pictures of our carrots, but will next week and include them in next week’s post!

With plans to attend a field trip on Friday, we read the book Manner Matter on a Field Trip. It told us all about the things we should and shouldn’t do when on a field trip with our class!

Then Friday morning we loaded the bus and headed to the Mississippi Children’s Museum. Once we got there we sat outside and got our colored armbands, and listened to the program director give us directions.

off to the museum we went………..we played with water guns, pretended to pump gas and drive a car, dressed up, operated a crane, made music, and MUCH MUCH more.Lunch time rolled around and we went into the park to enjoy a sack lunch provided to us by our school cafeteria. When it was time to return to school, we loaded the bus and it wasn’t long before lots of the tired troopers were snoring.

We had a great week and learned so much!
