What Happened This Week!

               MATH-TASTIC

In math this week the kids learned to use different strategies to solve their word problems! Some strategies the students’ used were cubes, a ten’s frame, number lines, or drawing pictures.  Here’s a peek. J

The students LOVED coming up and being “The Teacher”. One friend used the Inverse to check his problem. What a smart cookie!

                   

                       SCIENCE

Let's Save Water! In science this week the students learned all about water! The students discussed How much water we use everyday, Why water is important, and How to help conserve water. 

Here is some posters the students' were creating on "How to Conserve Water." 

 The friend above did a fabulous job with his poster. He talked about how drinking water wasn't being wasteful since we need water! 

 These friends decided to draw ways to help conserve water around the house! 

The students had a blast making their posters and presenting them to their classmates on Friday! What a great way to help spread the word about conserving water!

                      Writing

The students have been working very hard in writing. Throughout the week the students have been working on making a book with the same topic. The things they can come up with are amazing!

Here is one friend during “Author’s Chair” sharing her writing with the class!

               Language Arts

Good Writers and Readers Ask Questions!

During our lessons this week we really focused on questioning! What makes a good question, and what question words can we use!

The students practiced good questions with their buddy during buddy reading!

The students and I talked about before, during, and after questions to keep us on track while we read!

When: April 4  9:15-11:30ish

Who: Room 313

What to WEAR: PINK field trip shirt (with long sleeves under if cool), jeans or shorts (weather appropriate) and CLOSED toed shoes.

Bring: a LUNCH from HOME (we will eat at school but will miss our regular lunch time. We will have a picnic in our classroom or outside)

We don't want to take anything with us...so that we won't forget to bring anything HOME! :)

We have had 3 moms express an interest in coming along!! If there is anyone else please let me know.  Unfortunately,  siblings will not be allowed at this one!  We are in a small classroom and then JEEP time is limited to Kinders!

Welcome Back...

It is time for another field trip.  We are headed to Frisco Fire Safety Town on April 4th at 9:15 am.  We will need at least 4 parents to accompany us!  Weather permitting we will be driving/riding the jeeps around "town".  We need parents stationed throughout the town to help when we run up on the curb, run into each other and forget which way to go!!! It is a hands on time! 

 Since we will miss our regular lunch time it would be great if your child brought his/her lunch on this day. We will eat when we return in the classroom or outside.  

Your child should wear his/her pink field trip shirt, long pants or shorts and TENNIS SHOES! 

We are looking forward to a FUN time!!

Happy Happy...

Spring Break...
Although we are all happy for a short break...We are also very sad to have to say good-bye to one of our little buckaroos!  Chelsie will be moving after spring break!  We wish her lots of love and luck in her new school community!

Our Science study of the CLARITY of different type of water samples:
We brainstormed all kinds of places water can come from:
ocean, lake, pond, puddles, faucets, pool, rain, river, store...
Then we looked at some samples I brought in...

Recording our observations in our science journal came next!

Then as a class we recorded the clarity of the samples and where it came from!  My little scientist are becoming GREAT at making predictions and using vocabulary!!!
BUCKAROO:

 Thursday DAD came to eat with our special Buckaroo!

 Wednesday we heard one of her favorite books!

Tuesday Jaymie told us all about herself.  Everyone LOVES looking at all of the Buckaroo's favorites!

BUDDY READING
This might be one of my favorite times of the day!  I LOVE listening to my littles actually READING and questioning each other.  They are always so engaged!  After spring break we are going to fill our tool box with questions about books before we read, while we are reading and after we read!

Ms. C

We are so lucky to have Ms. C in our classroom.  Look at the one on one attention we are able to get.  This little one is becoming quite the WRITER!  We are continually amazed at the littles progress!

Happy Spring Break To ME....

Nothing could make me happier than to get this on the day before break! I LOVE LOVE LOVE my littles and am going to MISS MISS MISS them!

Have a FUN but safe vacation....

I'll see you in a week if I don't FREEZE up north! 

Hugs and Love to all my LITTLES!
