This week we are learning about the different events that happened during Holy Week. The students are making a book to help them remember these events and we add different things each day to our books. This week we added trees to the garden where Jesus prayed. We drew the high priest that questioned Jesus before He met with the Roman governor. Then we drew the cross and the crown of thorns.
During the mini lessons during literacy centers this week the students are learning how to do persuasive writing. They are learning about opinions and today they made a list of topics that could be compared for some future opinion writings. The literacy centers are giving the students continued practice in blends, long and short vowels, real and nonsense CVC words, and writing questions and sentences in proper form. We are taking a couple of weeks to learn about oviparous creatures. Students are making little books where a person can guess what oviparous creature is hiding. They are also making some pond pictures using a combination of chalk and paint. We had fun watching some special videos of some creatures hatch out of eggs. We watched chicks, turtles, and caterpillars hatch out of eggs. It was also fun to watch the caterpillars change into butterflies and watch as one emerged from a chrysalis. Students are also using their creativity to write stories about oviparous creatures. Today we had fun learning how to do the bunny hop and the chicken dance. It takes a lot of coordination to move in sync with the music and with a partner. We had fun and also got some great exercise. Comments are closed.
