What We've Been Learning


Reading: I can identify features of informational texts.
We have been working on finding features in informational texts these past two weeks.  Some of the features that we have been focusing on are finding and explaining the table of contents, index, glossary, bold print and labels.  Here is a chart that we refer to daily.


Science: I can identify oviparous animals. 
We have had so much fun learning about oviparous animals this week.  On Monday we learned that oviparous animals are animals that lay eggs.  We first read the book Chickens Aren't the Only Ones to learn about oviparous animals.  To make learning fun and engaging, we then gave the kids an egg filled with an oviparous animal.  We pretended like we were the animal inside hatching from the egg and then we moved back to our seats like the oviparous animal would.  The next day we sorted oviparous animals in a variety of ways.

Finding out which animals are oviparous!
