Heavier or lighter?

REMINDER..... We start back with ECO tomorrow, Friday! Please come prepared!!! Dress appropriately, bring a water bottle and a snack. Thank you!

Morning Meeting...... 

JJ and Evelyn are the teachers for the calendar! Nice job friends!


One of our morning greeting was to say something that we liked about the Warren School. Here are a few things that were said about what we like...
"I like what we learn."
"I like gym because it gives us energy."



Another morning meeting game we played, which is new to us, is called  "I have... Who has...?"
We all received a card and it said something like "I have stick. Who has Brown?" These cards have the pictures to help the kids read the cards. 


Book Corner....
Owl Moon by Jane Yolen.  "Late one winter night a little girl and her father go owling. The trees stand still as statues and the world is silent as a dream. Whoo-whoo-whoo, the father calls to the mysterious nighttime bird. But there is no answer.  Wordlessly the two companions walk along, for when you go owling you don't need words. You don't need anything but hope. Sometimes there isn't an owl, but sometimes there is."


Language Arts.....
We have been working really hard with our book boxes and reading our books. So much hard work going on in here (we think they could be 1st graders already!).

We are teachers.....reviewing our letter names, picture clue and sounds.


Math.....
Beth showed us two pictures, one was a small mouse with the word "lighter" and the other was a picture of an elephant with the word "heavier."  We are talking about comparing. We brought out the scales today to figure out what things are heavier and lighter. 

"How about this box of tissues and this movie case?"
"Can you guess which will be the lighter one and which will be the heavier one?"

They are the same!

"Which is heavier the Marker or hat?" 
The hat was heavier. 


We did this for many different comparisons of objects. We found so many that were heavier and so many lighter. It's hard to tell sometimes with the naked eye that things that looks like the same or about the same size, do not always weigh the same. 



MAKERS SPACE.......
Today was our last day for our Artist and Resident making things. We have had so much fun! You can check out this site to see what we've been up to at Warren School. Thank you PTO for sponsoring this program.  https://sites.google.com/view/warren-maker-ed/home
