Ask me all about our special buddy celebration! Today we decided to get together with our 6th grade book buddies one final time before the end of the school year. This wasn't any old get together, but a celebration of all that we have done together this year! We wrote our buddies beautiful thank you letters for being so helpful and having so much fun with them and our buddies gave us special books about frogs! We took turns sharing our letters and reading our brand new books to one another. We even performed one of our graduation songs for them! Then we were surprised with a special treat! We were given some delicious popsicles, which we got to eat outside with our buddies. It was such a fun filled afternoon!

Ask me all about the Imagination Museum! Today we went on our very first field trip to the Imagination Museum in Bristol. This was such a wonderful time as it allowed us to participate in hands on learning. Some of us played with magnets, an enlarged light bright, and even saw live animals! We also acted like we were on Sports Center, reinacted Little Red Riding Hood, and provided farm to table food! We even participated in a bubble-ology workshop where we learned what bubbles are made of. We also were able to participate in some stations using bubbles like bubble art, bubble exploration, and blowing bubbles with different materials. We absolutely loved and enjoyed our field trip and hope to go back again! Ask me all about nurses! In Social Studies over the past two weeks we have been discussing all that we think we know about our community helper nurses and questions that we had. We surprisingly knew a lot about nurses and some of our parents are even nurses! Then we shared out all of the questions we wanted to learn about nurses and boy we sure did have a lot! We wanted to know what kind of clothes they where, the tools they use, and what type of places that they work? We then used one of our favorite resources PebbleGo to do some research on these wonderful community helpers and we learned A LOT! We learned that they take care of patients (people who go to the doctors for help with their health), that they work in homes, hospitals, and clinics, and that they wear scrubs, masks, and gloves! We just loved learning all about nurses! We even were able to draw and label our very own nurse! Thank you for all that you do!
Ask me all about our special treat! Last week we filled up our warm and fuzzy jar for all of our hard work, showing kindness, and respect! We were so proud of ourselves and earned a special treat! Miss Walker brought in some delicious red, white, and blue popsicles and we had some extra recess! Hard work sure does pay off! Ask me all about our special treat!

We read a book from the Little Critter series Just Saving My Money and discussed how this a life story, but is a big story. Within this big story are small moments that make up Little Critter saving is money. We enjoyed the book then decided to go back and make a list of all of the small moments. We can give you some examples: Little Critter's skateboard is broken, he feeds the dog and the food spills everywhere, he tries to empty the dishes but they end up falling on the floor and breaking. Then we watched as Miss Walker picked her favorite small moment from this story and wrote about it. We even had the opportunity to pick our favorite small moment from the book and write about it as well. We can't wait to begin writing our very own small moment stories!
Ask me all about using my imagination! We have been reading lots and lots of Magic Treehouse books this year. We decided it would be fun to use our imaginations and act out our current Magic Treehouse book. Ask me what I created for our Jack and Annie adventure to China! We absolutely love using our imagination and showing our understanding of the story. Ask me how I can grab a reader's attention in my writing! Today in writing we were challenged to grab our reader's attention by beginning our pieces with a question! We all shared out our topic that we wanted to convince people to go along with. Some of us decided to write about a pet everyone should have, a toy we think is the best, or a movie everyone should watch. Then we helped each other by creating a few example questions that could be used to catch our reader's attention: "Did you know Sky Landers are the best toy ever? Did you ever play with a yo-yo? Have you ever had a puppy?" We then were challenged to go to our seats and try this strategy on our own! Take a look and see how we did. Ask me about surveys! Today during Math workshop we learned what a survey is. We learned a survey is a question that you ask to collect data about something. We began by asking the class if we like applesauce and then recorded our classmates responses by using tally marks. It was so interesting to find out that the majority of our classmates enjoy applesauce. Then we even were able to complete a survey to find out what meal the class likes best: breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It was so much fun collecting data! Ask me all about the story Grow Flower, Grow! Today we read a wonderful story called Grow Flower, Grow. Our job was to be active listeners and determine the important story parts. After the story was over we were challenged to turn and talk with a partner about the 5 major story parts. We took turns sharing the characters, setting, problem, solution, and plot. We practiced taking turns, giving feedback, and respectfully listening as our partner shared. We would love to practice this strategy at home too! Read us a story then ask me to name the important story parts! Ask me all about the frog life cycle. Today in Science we learned all about frogs and their life cycle. We began by sharing out things we thought we knew about the frog life cycle and questions that we had. Then one of our classmates came up and taught us about the different stages! We were amazed by the different stages they go through. We even watched a Brainpop video on frogs and learned about the different types, where they live, and how they protect themselves from predators. Then we applied our learning and recreated the frog life cycle. Tomorrow we are going to observe real tadpoles and are so excited to watched them as they grow! |
