Two Great Field Trips

We have had so much these past few weeks!



We went on a field trip to see Kids Who Care: Deep in the Heart. It was more than wonderful!  After that we had lunch in the park- it was a perfect day!

 

 

We had a great science experiment with mixtures and solutions. 

 

We also went to the Dallas Aboretum. I can't wait to go back to that amazing place! We studied the Wet Lands then went on education island to observe and test the water in the wetlands.  It was another beautiful day full of learning experiences!

 

Weeks 5-6

Wow! The weeks keep going by quickly!!! I can't believe we are already in the 6th week of school!!  We have learned a lot already...

We've been busy!

 We have been busy in class!!  These are some of the reading strategies we have been working on in class.  It is my goal  to get them to think about their thinking to make them more aware of what they are thinking about when they read.

I love this picture of my class reading to their buddies!  We have flashlight Friday every Friday so we can read with our flashlights.  This past Friday, we didn't have our buddy time as previously scheduled, so we invited them to come during our flashlight Friday.  They all had a great time!

The following two pictures of our class during our science lab activity.  The students had to figure out what solution would get oil out of a feather.  This was after showing them the damage oil spills have to the environment.  They had a great time using the scientific method!!

I wanted to end with a picture of how generous our PTO and PIC Parents are!  We were all given these cool bags with first aid gear.  I can't tell you how loved we are at this school!  I appreciate these parents so much!!

Great End to the Second Week!

We had another great week together!  We started our math rotations and they are getting better each day! In math we talked a lot about problem solving and we are using the method of "cubes" to help us break down the problem and solve it.

 

  

We added plants to our classroom and I love them.  We have a horticulturalist who is in charge of caring for the plants.  Speaking of class jobs, I included a picture of them.  This class is adorable!

 

 

 

 

 

In reading and writing we discussed expository writing and how to identify it.  Next week will be an introduction to narrative writing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also took several assessments this week to get a base line of where they are in their knowledge. 

It has been a very busy and productive week!
