Penmanship: Today we introduced another word family, the "all" family. We listed words like small, tall, call, ball, and fall and created a ball that helps us with our "all" word family.
Assembly: After recess we headed to the Flagpole for our Distinguished School Flag raising ceremony. We are all so proud of our accomplishment! Also, Citizenship award winners were recognized. Christopher from our class was the award winner.
Science: We noticed that one, and later in the day TWO, of our butterflies had emerged from their chrysalis. We also noticed that all of our silkworms had spun themselves into cocoons. A question was asked as to why the silkworms, which all seemed identical, spun different color cocoons (some yellow and some white). We hypothesized several things: either they will turn into different color moths or they were different species. We decided to separate one yellow cocoon into it's own container and one white cocoon into it's own container and see if there were differences between the moths that emerge.
Computer Lab: We continued to work on our math game, involving skills of addition and subtraction. Very fun! We only have one week left to visit the computer lab, but students are really seeming proficient in operating the mouse and keyboard during various activite.s.
Social Studies: We explored two different Let's Find Outs today. One of them was about Seahorses, we enjoyed it especially after reading Mr. Seahorse by Eric Carle. We already knew some of the fun facts that it contained, including that seahorses come from eggs that fathers carry around in a pouch until they hatch.
