Penguins are awesome!

This week we have had a lot of fun continuing to learn about penguins. Each day that we learned something new they wrote about it to create a non-fiction book. We have been reading many non-fiction and fiction books about penguins. Check out the videos below to learn about some of the different kinds of penguins and to see how the mother Emperor penguin would pass her egg to the father. Next week we will be back in to our normal schedule with the shared stories. We will be learning about animals. How the mother penguin passes the egg to the father penguin. Sorry that the video is sideways, it was the only way that I could get them to fit in the picture.

When I grow up...

This week we had fun learning about community helpers and different jobs. It was neat to see and hear what each student wants to be when they grow up. Check out the video to see! Next week is one of my favorite weeks of the year! We will be learning all about penguins. They will be learning about how they move, what they eat, where they live, and about their predators. With each thing that they learn they will also be writing. We will be reading both fiction and non-fiction books and talking about the differences. We will be taking a break from the KinderCorner stories, but please continue to read other books with them at home. We will continue working on our reading and math skills next week. Don't forget that we will be having our Valentine's Day party tomorrow in our room at 1:45p.m. Amerikus says, "When I grow up, I want to be a soldier."

Happy 100th Day of School

I am happy to be back from Florida. I learned some great stuff and also had some fun at Disney World. The substitute teacher left a note saying that things went pretty well while I was gone. This week the students read "Where is Pit-Pat?". They learned about their neighborhood and community. They learned about different jobs that people have around our community. Next week we will continue learning about more jobs. We had a lot of fun celebrating the 100th day of school yesterday! Check out the picture below. Next week we will be celebrating Valentine's Day on Thursday, February 14th at 1:45p.m. If you would like to join us for our celebration you are more than welcome!
