Here's a few things we've done in the last couple of weeks:
Kindergarteners learned all about the US symbols in class. During library time, we read some books about the symbols, then used ChatterPix to record about our favorite symbol. Here are a few of them from each class (some of them didn't save correctly, unfortunately, and Mrs. Hoeger's class' don't have names--we were learning as we went!).
This past week the kindergarteners listened to some poems, and tried to find rhyming words in the poems. We'll work on that again next week!
First graders have been working on problem and solution. We've read Mr. Tiger Goes Wild and Weasels. We talk about how sometimes there can be more than one problem in a book, like in Mr. Tiger but sometimes books have one problem, like in Weasels. Both of these books were hits!
Second graders also look at some poetry, but instead of looking for rhymes, we looked for alliterations--repeated sounds. We read a poem called Sea Snakes and then tried to write some alliterations using our own names. The next week, we edited the alliterations and took a selfie with our tongues out (because alliterations make great tongue twisters), then wrote the alliteration on our picture. Here are a few examples. Click here to see them all!
The 3rd graders got to spend some time looking through stacks of new books this week! There's always time for that! It was a great way to wind down each day, since they are the last class of the day.
The 4th graders have been working so hard on their book trailer videos. Finally, we are (mostly) done. A few people still need to share them to me or fix some technical difficulties, but here are links to see the ones who are finished. I am so proud of how these turned out! They are awesome!
We've got a lot of fun & learning left to pack into out 35 remaining days. I can't wait!
