Friday News Flash

Happy Friday! We officially have 13 days left of school! We started working on assessments for report cards this week, hence the short post, but we will really be focusing on our work for the Curriculum Fair and doing more assessments next week! 

Ducks Say Goodbye

This week we said goodbye to our cute but very smelly friends! The kids were so sad that the ducks had to leave, a few even gave them hugs goodbye but boy did we have an eventful last day with them! Since they have gotten so much bigger they have been running around the trough and I decided to let the kids watch them swim one last time. Well let me tell you it ended up being much more eventful than I thought! The ducks were diving under splashing and a couple kids got water right in their face! After the initial shock of getting wet I thought they were going to die laughing! It was a really fun moment that the whole class enjoyed! Here are some pictures of the kids watching the ducks swim.

These 3 girls got the face full of water!

I tried to keep them back from the container but they were too mesmerized!

Story Writing

Your children officially finished their first piece of writing! 4 pages of writing is a huge feat and a tribute to how much your children have learned this year. Using sequencing words like First, Then, Next and Last they told a personal story about an exciting event in their lives. I was so impressed by their work that I told them they should show off their stories at the Curriculum Fair so we will have those available on their desks for you to view!

Measurement

This week we started dabbling in measurement discussing what it meant to measure something and what tools we use to measure items. Then I had students practice ordering items by height, starting with each other of course! I posed a challenge for students to be in a group of 5 and without talking they had to put themselves in order form tallest to shortest. There were many giggles and some muffled voices but I was very impressed with how quickly and efficiently they were able to do this! Next week we will be measuring varying objects in our classroom with different measuring tools! I will post pictures of this next week as well!

Sorry again for the short post but I got so wrapped up in the learning I forgot to grab my phone to snap a few quick photos. Cheers to another great week of learning!
