Wild About Learning!

Greetings! Friday was a great day of learning, even though it was a short day. The excitement could be heard from the moment they walked in the door. At times, it was loud in the classroom, but that was ok. Who said learning has to be quiet? 

We wrapped up another week of learning in Language Arts. We used our oral vocabulary words in sentences, read long e: ey, y words and compound words, used our vocabulary words in sentences, and wrote sentences using our sight words. We ended class by taking our weekly assessment. 

Today also marked the end of our Dr. Seuss celebration. Today we read Green Eggs and Ham. After reading the story, we wrote who we would eat green eggs and ham with. We really enjoyed this week. It was quite evident in library today; everyone took home a Dr. Seuss book. Happy Reading! 

In Math class today we learned how to add three one-digit numbers. We first add two numbers and then add on the third number. We will continue to practice this on Monday. 

Science class was loads of fun. We learned about the five senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch). We did experiments with 4 of the 5 senses. For sight, the students looked at a tray of objects for 10 seconds and then had to draw everything on the tray. For hearing, the students listened to objects hidden in plastic eggs and had to guess what was inside. For smelling, the students had to smell different liquids, and for touch the students felt different objects and had to guess what they were. They just loved exploring their senses today. 

We wrapped up our day with Art class. Today we made shamrocks. The students glued pieces of green scrapbook paper on top of a shamrock. They look awesome: 

Have a wonderful weekend!
