Shatto Dairy Field Trip

Pet Project in Full Swing!

We are into the research phase of our project! We are working in groups to classify animals and learn about the characteristics of each animal group!

Pet Project

This week we kicked off project based learning! We will use our Pet Project to explore "What makes a good pet?" through research, critical thinking, technology integration and collaboration.

We will use this blog to keep you updated on our progress. 

This is a baby sugar glider that visited our room on Friday. 

Holding the chicks!

Egg-citing!

This is how our incubator looked when we left Monday!

This was Tuesday morning....

Wednesday...we hatched 9 chicks!

Reading Clubs

On Friday, we broke into our reading clubs to explore nonfiction text. Each club of learners selected a topic that they would like to learn about, then each group read together asking questions and discussing facts.

 

Here is what the experts said:

I learned....

A hurricane has an eye! 

Some sharks don't have teeth!

Snakes lose their skin when they grow!

T-Rex is the king of all dinosaurs.

Train cars can take you anywhere. 

This was fun!

What a great way to synergize!

Fact Fluency....

We continue to work on our Fact fluency goal. This means that we can add or subtract to 5 quickly or fluently. Today we played Dice Subtraction to help us with this goal!
