A Week in Review - April 29 - May 3

Sorry for the late post, we have been busy bees in room 116 these past few weeks! Last week we started our bear unit.  We began our unit with a teddy bear sleepover! While the kiddos were away, the bears were *very* busy! After the students were returned to pick up their bears they had a little mystery on their hands.

After following the clues, we finally found our bears in Miss Havig's room! Once we were there we noticed a surprise on her SMART board!


After we got our bears back safely, we had a picnic. 

AM picnic with our teddy bears!




PM picnic with our teddy bears!




Students also wrote about what they thought their bears did during the sleepover.

"At the teddy bear sleepover my bear will play at the creative center" (Cheyanne AM).

"At the teddy bear sleepover my bear will mess up the whole school" (Anna AM).
"At the teddy bear sleepover my bear will draw a picture for me" (Willy AM).
"At the teddy bear sleepover my bear will eat all the snacks" (Monica PM).
"At the teddy bear sleepover my bear will listen to music" (Jo Lin PM).
"At the teddy bear sleepover my bear will eat the alphabet" (Katharine PM).

We have been working on some nonfiction with bears as well.  We read nonfiction books about polar bears and brown bears and recorded our new learnings!

AM's new learnings.
PM's new learnings.

PM's new learnings.
After reading "A Pocket for Corduroy" we brainstormed items that could be kept in our pocket.  Then students sewed their own pocket and drew something to keep in the pocket.

"In my pocket I would keep a diamond" (Anna AM).
"In my pocket I would keep a wallet" (Bennett AM).
"In my pocket I would keep a snake" (Derrick PM).
"In my pocket I would keep two flowers" (Katharine PM).
We also had our PM Mystery Reader!

Haley's dad was our PM Mystery Reader!

Love,
Miss Lucas
