In Math, we will continue to focus on composing and decomposing numbers as well as look at graphs and surveys. The kids really enjoy walking around with their clipboards collecting data from their peers.
Today we read a book called "The Something" which was great for inquiring minds! This book was about a boy who finds a hole in the ground and wonders what might live in that hole. We went outside and found many holes on the school yard, took pictures of them and then predicted what might be living in them. The kids had a blast and their ideas and work were AMAZING!
In Science, we were learning about the life cycle of the butterfly and had the opportunity to see all the stages in our classroom. Our butterflies finally came out over the weekend (we missed seeing the change 😢). We learned the difference between a male and female Painted Lady butterfly and got to observe them for a few days. Yesterday we release 8 out of 10 of them into the sky. Two were not ready yet so we still have them as classroom pets to observe!
Reminders:
Many children are coming to school with sunscreen. Unfortunately, we are not able to put it on the children so please apply it before school and show them how to put it on independently. The spray type sunscreen is not allowed at school because it ruins the floors as well as makes them extremely slippery.
Please send in a water bottle each day as well as a hat to protect them from the sun.
Here are some pictures from the day:
