Write the Room

Writer's Workshop: Today students were introduced to a new activity called "Write the Room". Students take a board, piece of paper, and pencil. They travel around the classroom copying any words onto that paper that they find around the classroom (on word walls, on charts, on cubbies, on papers, etc) STUDENTS LOVED IT AND DID AN AMAZING JOB!

We are continuing to practice songs for our upcoming Spring Sing Concert. We now know/practice: This Land is Your Land, The Worm Song, Each of Us is a Flower, and Buzz Buzz Buzz

Science: We introduced pigs. Students learned several interesting facts about pigs and even informally compared them to pigs (they both have bodies, 4 legs, hooves, etc.)

Art: We did step-by-step drawings of a pig. Then students learned the strategy of coloring in their picture by tracing their outline in markers and then colors in with crayon or colored pencil.

Library: Today Mrs. Williams read us I Wanna Iguana and we voted on our favorite book that has been read to us throughout the year thus far.
