Our Chicks Have Arrived!
The chicks will be in our room through Friday! We are so excited to watch them hatch and grateful for such a wonderful learning opportunity!
Plants, Flowers, Spring, and more!
Although some days are still a little chilly, Spring is in full swing in our classroom! This week we are enjoying learning about and discussing the parts of a flower, what plants need to grow, and each student is growing their own patch of grass! I converted the dramatic play area into a Flower Shop and they are enjoying that center along with our writing center where we were making sentences about flowers and our math center where they are using their counting skills to make bags of seeds to "sell"! What a fun week it has been so far! I wish I had taken more pictures, but we have been so busy! Time flies when you are having fun!
"Building 10"
To continue our Construction theme, I introduced a new math tool... Ten Frames! We practiced building ten and worked on deep thinking skills and number sense.
Construction Week Building
Today we read the story "The Three Little Pigs" during read aloud time and then we built houses using sticks and bricks. We talked about different building materials and tools you might use as well! I challenged the students to think deeper by asking questions about how to make a house sturdier to stand up to the Big Bad Wolf just as we read in the story. They did a great job thinking of a variety of ways to build houses and how to improve them!
