The Heart

Sharing with Ryder and Mazie. 

Language Arts, Royal Reader's!


We have moved on from community members being the Royal Readers to all of us being Royal Reader's. We have been working very hard on being Authors and Illustrators. After reading a book by Mo Willems, The Pigeon Needs a Bath, we began to write our own Pigeon books based on the ending of the book. Half the class had a chance to share their books that they have been working on. A couple friends thought it was a little "embarrassing" to sit in front of everyone to share, but it was "fun" too. Nice job writing your books and sharing with the class kids!

Science is so fun!!!! We were challenged today to make rocks (aka: blocks) move from one side of the room to the other, using only thick paper, string, tape and rubber bands. It could be a push or pull force that we could use. Great inventions were made, successful too!

Health class with Deidra.... we learned about the most important muscle in our body, the Heart! We had the opportunity to use stethescopes to listen to our own heart as well as listen to our friends hearts too. We found our pulses in our neck and our wrists, tricky, but cool when we found it.

Math 

In math we made number bonds with goldfish crackers.  Everyone had ten crackers and we learned about all of the partners to ten, like 4+6 and 7+3.  Then we did a fun caterpillar page filling in missing numbers on the caterpillars fuzz balls!  We even had to write some teen numbers!  

We could use some more snacks for the class if anyone can provide some. We like cheerios, pretzels, bars, fruit snacks, clementines, etc. Thank you for helping our our hungry friends!
