Science: I can use my five senses to observe apples.
The kids loved trying all different kinds of apples! While they tried them, they thought about what each apple looked, smelled, felt, sounded and tasted like. We then graphed each child's favorite apple! Most students liked the yellow apple the best!
Friendship Friday
I have started making our Fridays a day where we focus on friendship. Each Friday we spend writing workshop writing and drawing pictures for friends in our class. I pull sticks so that each child randomly writes to a new and different child. We talk about how we can all be friends and that it is important that we are kind to everyone. After they write, they share what they like or appreciate about the person that they were given. The students have to go to that child and explain what they like about them. So far everyone has said that this has given them a "heart thought" or makes their heart feel happy!
What we have learned and worked on throughout the week...
Writing: I can label a picture.
We continued to work on "stretching words like bubble gum" to label our illustrations.
We added pictures and labels to our heart maps of things that are close to our hearts. This will give us inspiration as we write this year!
Social Studies: I can learn and interact as a community of learners.
We studied ants this week to see how they work as a community. We compared this to how we also have to work together as a community.
We loved going on our "ant hunt" to observe ants working together. We did go over some safety rules before!
We made our own ant tunnels. The kids were put into groups and they had to work together to make a plan and figure out how to successfully get through the tunnels!
