A Week in Review - January 7 - 11

It was our fist full week back and we were busy bees!  In literacy we worked on The Three Little Pigs fairy tale.  After we read the book, we discussed what we would want to build our houses out of and why.

If I built a house, I would build a house out of bricks so people don't break into it (Haley PM).

If I built a house, I would build a house out of sticks so the wolf would blow it down (April PM). 

If I built a house, I would build a house out of straw because I think the wolf is funny (Kennedy AM).

If I built a house, I would build a house out of bricks so the wolf couldn't blow my house away (Nyelah PM). 

After we finished the Three Pigs' side of the story, we read the Big Bad Wolf's side of the story.  Then, each student picked one item that they wanted the Big Bad Wolf (hairdryer) to try and blow down.  Students made a prediction of whether or not they thought the wolf would blow their item.  Finally, we tested our predictions!

In math, we have been working on patterning.  We practiced patterning with pasta.

We worked on learning all about the letter C.  Some students began writing their own word for their C illustration! 

Students began applying for the Zipper Club.  Students must demonstrate that they can zip their coats on their own five consecutive times.  Once they do, they will become a member of the Zipper Club and get a lot of great things!

Students will get their name on the tooth of zipper when they become a member of the Zipper Club. 

Students will get a certificate, a zipper pull, and their name on a tooth of our zipper when they become a member of the Zipper Club.

We had our Mystery Readers and Fresh Fruit Fridays as well.

Lilah's mom was our AM Mystery Reader.

Nyelah's mom was our PM Mystery Reader.

Please remember to send your child with the warm winter clothes, daily!

Love,

Miss Lucas
