Bugs! Bugs! Bugs!

Since we are learning about insects this week, we had a special visitor today!  Our visitor brought some insects to show us.  We started by viewing several dead species of butterflies from all over the world!  Then the live bugs were brought out....

Learning about the Madagascar Hissing Cockroach

Scorpion!!

I love the looks on the girls faces!

Safari Field Trip

We were so sad that our field trip was cancelled last week due to the weather.  Luckily, we were able to reschedule for this week.  The weather was beautiful, the animals were so much fun, and we had a wonderful time! 

Farm Unit

 Last week, our class learned about farm animals and the many products that come from a farm.  We even made butter!  Yesterday, we had a visit from some baby chicks!

A sight word center:  Students had to break open the egg to spill out the cut up sight word.  They had to figure out which word it is and then record it on thier papers.

We are learning to put words in ABC order!

April Fool's Day!

I was so excited to play a prank on my class for April Fool's Day!  I told them all that I have made "Brownies" for them and if they were very well behaved, they would get one.  All day long, I stressed how important it was to have excellent behavior and to get all work done so they could earn a "Brownie".

 

 

 

I kept my tub closed but in sight all day

I made brown letter Es out of construction paper

I had a lot of disappointed faces when they finally earned their "brown E". 

OK, the joke didn't last long... I gave them a real brownie in the end!

We wrote about the joke and how it made us feel.
