Three Billy Goats Gruff

On Monday, we learned that characters in a book can be people, animals, or objects that come to life.  We read Three Billy Goats Gruff and discussed the characters and setting.  Then we created the setting using popsicle sticks.

On Tuesday, Mrs. Cordon visited our class and taught us about characters and the different feelings that characters show in books.  She even brought a really neat chart to hang in our classroom so we can keep track of all of the characters we read about in fairy tales.

Busy Day

We had a very busy day today.  Your little guys should be pooped out.  Mrs. Washburn from TAG visited our class, we went to the computer lab, previewed the Book Fair in the library, had our vision and hearing tested, and almost had a fire drill.  Go to bed early tonight  :)

Blending Colors

Today, in science we talked about blending colors.  Did you know that red and yellow make orange?  Well, that's what we discovered today.  I used a die-cut machine to cut out a leaf from a coffee filter.  Then the kids colored their leaves with red and yellow washable markers.  We used a spray bottle filled with water to "water" our leaf.  The colors mixed and turned the leaves orange.  Then we wrote about our experiment in our learning journal.
