What We Learned From Stellaluna

Firefighter Labels

We have been working on adding labels to our writing by using phonetic spelling (writing the sounds we hear in words).  Here are some labels on the firefighters.

Migration and Hibernation

Miss Jamie, an instructor from Fallen Timbers, came in to teach us about animals that migrate, hibernate, and stay active in the winter.  In the pictures, you will see us using actions to predict whether an animal hibernates, migrates, or stays active in the winter.  The hawk was a tricky one!

More from our Week!

We carved our pumpkin and then became scientists.  We predicted what will happen if we combine three ingredients, baking soda, vinegar, and green food coloring.  There definitely was a chemical reaction!

A Peak At Our Busy Week...so far!

We completed math and reading MAP testing and enjoyed some pumpkin fun!  Alex, our high school volunteer, helped us scoop out the pulp and seeds in our pumpkin.  We counted the seeds by 10's and ended up with 390 seeds!  During choice time, in the games and puzzles center, many of us enjoyed playing gourd tic-tac-toe.  In the art center, students created 5 Little Pumpkins Sitting on a Gate, which is a song we learned in music.

We also created a beautiful hand print painting that you will soon see as a fundraiser for our school!  You will be able to order this art in many different forms, such as t-shirts, coffee mugs, mouse pads, quilt squares, key chains, necklaces, and much more!

Hillside Apple Orchard Field Trip

We documented our learning by labeling some pictures from our trip!
