Our main activity for the day was an EXCELLENT science experiment. Since we've been studying apples, we carried out an activity to test items from around our classroom to find out if they were "heavier than an apple" or "lighter than an apple". Students made predictions and tested them and we worked together as we individually recorded our results in our Science Notebooks.
For math, we used yellow, green, and red apples to do patterning. For Readers Workshop today students were introduced to our classroom library and the types of books it contains: fiction, non-fiction, hard cover, paper back, big and small.
Today we also made Brown Bear books of our own to review colors and practice literacy. The students enjoyed both creating the books and reading them together after they were completed. We started out reading Ten Little Dinosaurs and Max the Minnow. Both were crowd favorites (I'd like to claim that it was my reading, but I'm pretty sure it was the googly eyes that are contained in the books).
