Last week during E week we read the story of Elmer by David McKee. Elmer taught us the importance of being proud of who were are! Students each made their own unique Elmer which our now on display on the big bulletin board in our classroom.
This week in math we have been learning all about symmetry. Students used pattern blocks to create symmetrical designs.
Next students walked around the classroom and used rulers as "symmetry sticks" to find lines of symmetry on their classmates' creations.
We've also been learning about silent E this week. Students have learned that a silent E at the end of a word helps the other vowels to say their names. We have been working on reading and writing silent E words. Here are the Super Es we made yesterday!
On Monday we began a new science unit on oviparous animals. We started by reading the book Chickens Aren't the Only Ones by Ruth Heller.
Then students drew and wrote about one animal that was oviparous (lays eggs) and what that is viparous (does not lay eggs).
Yesterday students created riddles about oviparous animals. They did a great job writing clues and drawing pictures of the animals they chose.
I forgot to share these photos of students with their plants in the last blogpost so I thought I'd include them in this one!
