Snowy Fun
/We've had so much fun playing in the ice and snow during our outside times this week! Students wrote about their snow day adventures during writers' workshop. Inside we've been learning about words, sounds, and articulation. We recently added a sound wall to our classroom. The sound wall is a great learning tool for students to determine different ways to spell specific sounds. For example, if you look under the letter f, you will discover that f can be spelled three ways: f, ff, or ph. We've been working on learning different spelling patterns. Students have been doing an excellent job learning how to spell new, tricky words! Our Warrior Tiger reading group has been learning about different genres of books. They came up with categories for the books in our intermediate chapter book collection and organized the books into categorized bins for easy access. During project time a team of engineers took apart a Walkman, a radio, and a cell phone. We recently received Flat Stanley updates from Hawaii and Kenya We discovered that our trout alevin have used up most of their egg sacs and are nearly ready to be released. We got to examine a dead alevin under the microscope. Next week we’ll be taking a field trip to Hagg Lake to release our fish. Thursday afternoon we took a walking trip to the library and read with our Dolphin buddies.
