Panda News:
I hope you all had a great vacation. Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms!
Language Arts:
We
have begun an author study of Eric Carle. They have been studying his
craft and have tried out some of his illustration techniques. We read A House For Hermit Crab. The students are working on making their own hermit crab.
Science:
Have
you heard the news. We are going to be the proud parents of new baby
chicks. They are due to arrive around the 24th.. The students
have been learning about the life cycle and caring for them by waking
them each morning. Ask your student how they do that? You may also
want to ask them what other interesting facts they can remember. A lot
of students have talked about taking a chick home. I told them it is
the families decision and "lots" of home do not allow it. If there is
any family that would like to start raising chickens please contact me.
Art:
The students worked on Mother's Day gifts. Shh! I hope you love them.
