Hibernation Day!

Yesterday we wrapped up our unit on winter animals with hibernation day!

We hibernated and woke up pretty hungry to search for food. We even wrote a book about how to hibernate.

How to Make Hot Chocolate!

This week we continued to work on writing how to books.

We learned that the steps in our books need to be in sequential order so that they make sense.  We have also learned about adding details to our text to give our readers more information. After we wrote about how to make hot chocolate, we had to read and follow each step!

Identifying Ending Sounds

This week we have been working to identify the ending sounds in words. We used this sort for independent practice of the skill. It was a great opportuntity to practice teamwork, as well!

Gingerbread Houses

We sharpened our retelling skills by reading several versions of the Gingerbread man right before winter break!  We enjoyed identifying the various characters, settings, and solutions in each story.  It was a fun and engaging way to learn about story elements.  We culminated the unit making gingerbread houses with our buddies.  Thanks for all the donations!

Penguin Dance!

Sometimes our brains just need a little break!  Today the Penguin Dance provided a fun way to get the wiggles out! Enjoy!

Snow Much Fun!

Last week we had a visit from Snowball the Snowman. He stopped by to check up on us and make sure we were all working hard and being great listeners.  At night, he seems to always find a little mischief...but in the morning he always brings a smile to each little face that walks through the door!
