Hi! We welcomed a new student, Iris, to our class this week. We learned how to use kiddle.co. This is just like google but safe for kids. Each student picked a rainforest animal that they want to know more about. They are using the information they find to write a nonfiction book. Now that they have this skill, they can use it anytime to learn and write even more!
We had our last Gymnastics/Swim/Gym at the OT YMCA on Tuesday. The kids learned so much in the four visits we had. It was great watching them!
Our play is coming along great! We will be adding movements next week and getting rid of our scripts! Don't forget to mark your calendars for Wednesday, April 16th at 8:30am. Family and friends are invited. The play will be in the cafeteria. We will go back to our room after so you can see our rainforest, hear stories and have a snack. The whole production will last around 45 minutes.
I think I jinxed us with the plea to take home snow gear last week! I hear we might even get more this weekend! That being said, hopefully next week we can take home everything!
We learned about poison dart frogs, red eyed tree frogs and coatis this week. We did a couple of how to draws to create some frogs.
We started using Fact Triangles in Math. These are basically flashcard. When some come home, you can keep them at home. We are trying to get the kids to see that the three numbers on a fact triangle can give four different equations.
