Here are some pictures from our party!! Enjoy!
We finished our Poetry unit. The children read and wrote many different kinds of poems. We wrote list poems, shape poems, free verse, acrostic, and color poems. Each child published their poems in a Poetry book, which will be sent home this week. We also created a poetry anthology with class 1J and each child selected their favorite poem to go in the book. They did a fabulous job!
The LS Spring Concert was spectacular. The children did a fabulous job! It warms my heart to hear them sing!
The LS Art Show was wonderful. The children created so many beautiful masterpieces with Mrs. Howard. Here are a few photos...
In Science and Reading we have been working on our animal habitat unit. We learned all about the desert and the plants and animals that live there. The children made a desert mural and we read many interesting books about the desert. One great book we read was The Cactus Hotel. The children did a fun activity where they had to draw a cactus and then draw all of the animals that live in a cactus. We have also been working on our last habitat, oceans. We learned why the ocean is salty, where sand comes from, and all about the fish and sea creatures that live in our oceans.We also learned the difference between a fish and a whale. We will continue our oceans study next week.
In Math we finished time and are finishing up our money unit. We have been counting various combinations of pennies, nickels,dimes, and we started quarters.
In Writing we are working on 1st Grade memory books. We also wrote a how to piece about how to blow a bubble and we even got to practice by chewing gum!!!
Today we took part in Field Day! The children had a really fun day! They got to participate in relay races, Jump the River, Home Run Derby, sack races, Water Relay, and soccer dribbles.Our team was Team Canada. I was so happy to see so many parents come and cheer for their children. I am going to send a smilebox with the Field Day pictures.
Enjoy the long weekend.
