Plants are growing!

We have read many books about plants and how they grow. The children have been fascinated to learn that we eat seed and roots everyday. Below are a couple examples of the way we have planted seeds.

The children painted a flower and labeled the parts of a flower and then wrote about flowers.

We will post more  plant happenings next week!

Frog build a word game

I found these cute frog candy holders. They work like the plastic Easter eggs. They come apart and inside I put letter tiles spelling some of our popcorn words. The children open one at a time and write what word it spells on the frog recording sheet below (I cannot get it to rotate??).

Each frog has a letter on the back and the student writes the word on the correctly lettered frog.

 I was surprised at how well the children did with this activity.

Come back tomorrow to see what we are doing with our bean seeds!

Measurement Fun!

We learned how to measure objects and people with objects are around the room. We learned to use a ruler,yard stick, and a tapemeasure.

We also learned how to weigh things using a balance.

Measure capacity

We were introduced to measuring capacity today during math. The children put cubes in containers to see how many cubes each container would hold. We then compared the containers. We also measures the area of a square using Big Cheez-Its. Come back tomorrow for more measuring fun!

All About Bees

The children learned a lot of facts about bees. We read several fiction stories about bees and then read some nonfiction books to teach us about bees. We watched a Reading Rainbow story and got to see a beekeeper at work. We then wrote about bees here are a few of the great reasearch projects.

We will add some ant projects tomorrow so I hope you return!
