Treasure Discovery

Today we did Discovery with Room 7 and Room 9. We did it in our classroom. We played with the playdough on a table. We went to take pictures of people that were making stuff. They were making boats, treasure and hats. We were hiding the sparkly rocks inside the sand. We were playing with the pirate toys. When we were done we cleaned up the classroom.

Here are some pictures of what people did in Discovery.

High Frequency Words

We have started to learn how to use the iPads and PicCollage to do our work. This week we took a picture of ourselves and wrote some words we know.

Here are three examples of some quality work that some children have done:

Our Caterpillars

In our class we have 10 caterpillars. They are big. The caterpillars got a new skin. Some caterpillars turned into a chrysalis. We got to touch them gently with one finger. They felt soft. One chrysalis moved. They ate a lot of leaves and when the leaves were gone we fed them some pumpkin.

Here are some pictures. Can you see the old skin? Sorry they are blurry. We are still learning how to take pictures. :)

Our Mouse

This mouse is our new mouse and his name is Jackson. He lives in a cage in our classroom - Room 8. He is tiny and he is afraid of people that are too close to him and that shake the table. You have to put a fist so he can smell you and not be afraid. He knows that you are not going to eat him.  He climbs up the side of his cage. He's got a long tail. Here is a picture of him.
