A look into another world...

We were so excited this week to begin our new Insect unit. We read books, watched videos, and went on insect hunts to learn more about them.   The students made a book called Every Insect.  We practiced reading and singing it in class!  Ask us to sing it and our "Insect Body" song!

We also worked on opinion writing and wrote if we like insects or if we don't like insects.  We drew our own and made them from egg cartons with a head, thorax, abdomen, six legs, and antennas!

We had fun using our ipads to practice writing sentences with sight words and words beginning with /k/.  We read them and recorded our voices on the ipads to play them back.

 

One of our favorite math games is "Rock Around the Clock".  A student writes down a time to the hour or half hour and the class dances while moving the hands on their clocks to the correct time. When the music stops, the students show their clocks!
