We had a day full of exciting projects yesterday!
In the morning, we read
Pancakes, Pancakes! and worked together to make pancakes for the class. We all got to wear chef's aprons and help make the batter. Mrs. Skeels did the cooking, and Jenna was our "Syrup Girl." It was fun and delicious! Yummy!
We also did a group work activity that you can try at home. Our class was divided into groups of four. I gave each group 3 large pieces of newspaper and one long piece of masking tape. The students had to work together to build a structure that was as tall as possible. It was pretty hard to do, but I heard some great conversations and problem solving from every group. You can take at the pictures of each group with their structure below. This is a fun activity for you to try at home, too! We are hoping to try it again sometime this year to see if we have any new ideas for building.
In the afternoon, we spent some time on our Eric Carle art. The pictures are turning out great - everyone is doing a nice job! I love the bright colors of all the artwork. It also shows off the creativity we has in our class!
Today, Mrs. Wanless was back so that I could work individually with students to assess for report cards. Mrs. Wanless read The Very Grouchy Ladybug and helped the class make ladybug clocks and practice telling time! Be sure to practice telling time at home whenever you can - it can be tricky!
Tomorrow we will be finishing our Eric Carle artwork and writing in our journal.
