Presidents

Last week we celebrated President’s day for the whole week! We learned about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln and also talked about the role of the president. We had fun thinking about what we would do if we were the President of the United States.

      

After reading a non-fiction book about George Washington, we came up with facts together and then wrote our own.

 

                                           

We did the same thing for Abe!

 

 

We learned that Abe Lincoln is on the penny! We played a game flipping the coin and graphing heads and tails.

           

The flag is an important symbol in our country. We listened to the Star Spangled Banner and said the Pledge of Allegiance together. We learned what the stars and the stripes mean and how many there are on the flag.

This week we have been learning about SPACE! We are making Information books about space with all of the fun things we have learned! hey will be sent home next week so you can read about what your child has learned!

Valentine’s Day

 

    On Thursday we celebrated Valentine’s Day together by handing out our valentine’s, writing nice notes to each other, playing games and decorating treats. It was a fun way to end the week and we all got to take home A LOT of candy and A LOT of nice notes from our friends.

Enjoy these pictures from our fun day!

Fairy Tales

We spent two fun weeks reading about Fairy Tales and doing many fun writing prompts and projects!

  

  Cinderella was the first Fairy Tale we read. After reading many different versions, we filled in this story chart to help us remember the important details in the story.

We imagined what it would be like to have our own fairy godmothers and came up with some fun ideas! If only they were real!

  

 

Jack and the Beanstalk was another Fairy Tale we read. The Giant left us a note and challenged us to find things around the room that were longer and shorter than his footprint. We had just practiced measuring in math so this challenge came at the right time! It was fun to watch the kids run around the room and measure different things with their linking cubes. The giants foot was 22 linking cubes long. The kids had to determine whether things were longer, shorter or the same based on that.

   

   

Here are our results!

We did a guided drawing to make our own castles. Then we got to use water colors to paint them!

 

We read The Princess and the Pea and The Princess and the Pizza! It was fun to compare the stories and see which one we liked best.

 

                               

We read many other Fairy Tales and enjoyed imagining and pretending. The Fairy Tale books are now a favorite in our room!

Polar Bears

Take a peak at what we did last week when we learned about Polar Bears!

We made Polar Bear Biscuits and they were yummy!

    

 

 

 

We made our own polar bears:

 

We read facts about polar bears and then put our sentences in the correct order!

   

We learned about the northern lights that happen in the Arctic and used chalk crayons to create a northern light picture.
