Look at what we have been up to!

We have had a fun week so far!  Our word of the week is "I".  We have been looking for "I" in poems and stories as well as using it in our writing. The children are very excited to find our special word and will probably point it out to you while reading a book!  Below is the poem we used to look for and "butter" the word "I".  They loved singing it in class.
 Today we had so much fun predicting which brain made of ice would melt first.  The students had great ideas and reasons for their predictions.  They were very engaged and kept a close eye on the brains throughout the day.  At the end of the day, we examined each brain and wrote down our observations.  They even came up with a very clever name for our science experiment "Brain Freeze"!!!  We have lots of future scientists in our class!



 The students have been exploring Math through play and having a great time!  Lots of students have been busy building and collaborating in the classroom.  Our pumpkins were turned into geoboards and the students loved using the pegs and elastics to create different shapes.  Math is everywhere!

Just a reminder that on Friday we will be having Black and Orange Day.  Your child is invited to wear black and orange (if they have it at home)  instead of a costume.  It is going to be a spooktacular day!  Please refrain from sending in treats for the class as we have many allergies in our room.
