A Visit from the Tree Lady

Bats!

This week we paired a nonfiction text and fiction text for a day about bats! We read our Scholastic News about bats after previewing and predicting. We made lots of connections to these furry creatures. After, we read Stellaluna and compared our texts. Then to end the day we made 'bats' using cookies and fruit roll-ups. We had a 'bat-tiful' day!

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

Celebrating Reading

We had a reading celebration with our parents and friends on Friday. We invited them to come in and see how our reading class works. We had refreshments, did a reading lesson and then we read, read, read. It was so exciting to see all the reading in our room. Thank you so much for enjoying our love of reading!

Math Explorations

Lots of fun math activities during center time! We practiced using rulers to measure objects, we estimated the length of objects, and we learned how to use the ruler to make straightedges. The students reviewed skip counting by twos and they explored dominoes. We learned that dominoes are more than just for fun, they can help us with counting, adding, and subtracting.
