The chicks have made several visits to the classroom. We contain them in a small pool and the students can observe, pet and hold them. The chicks kept mistakenly being called ducks, so I made a work showing the difference between chicks and ducks.
Before all of the rain we did spend a pleasant morning out at the garden on Monday.
This week we have been discussing coins and there value. We have a coin book work with penny, nickel, dime, quarter, half dollar and Sacagawea coins represented. We also have a dice that the students roll, identify the coin, find a match and write down the amount. We then add up the coin amounts after four roles.
On Tuesday small groups of students were able to go and visit the 1/2 grade mock store. They got to 'buy' a small cupcake and eat it.
Some new works added to the classroom are parts of a bird, building Spring words, tracing Spring words, Spring find the difference and animal 3 part cards.
Mr. Ryan came in today and gave an art lesson on stamps. He explained printing and how money has to be specially printed and not everyone can just print it. He then asked the students to print their own piece of artwork and try to tell a story.
We made May Day baskets today to give to someone. Some friends chose to give to another friend in the class others have chosen to give to a family member or friend.
Ms. Leah is asking for donations of toilet paper rolls or paper towel rolls. She has a project this summer that she needs a plethora of them.
Reminder that you can still fill out and turn in the permission forms for Nicole's math study. We will accept them all of next week. Thank You
FYI : We will be participating in Portfolio Day on May 19th and it will be in the morning. I will be giving a more detailed schedule next week.
Our last day of school will be May 25th with an early dismissal of 1pm. We will be having a small ceremony and picnic lunch on that day as well.
Have a great weekend!
