Ferguson's Field Trip

Tomorrow we will be going on a field trip to Ferguson's. We are going to get a tour and then get a chance to plant a seed. We have just finished planting seeds in our classroom. This will be a great addition to our science in the classroom. Our class will be leaving at 10:00 and returning by 11:15.

Sight Words

I am sending home a red card with a list of sight words on it. Please help your child practice these words. They need to be able to read all the words in less then 45 seconds without any errors.

 THANK YOU!

Please turn up your volume to listen to our class tell about their junk insects that they created! All of them are SO creative and very different. It was so much fun to see what the kids came up with.

Calling all cans

I am looking for tin cans to use in our classroom. The type of cans I am looking for is like soup cans, vegetable cans or any other type of can. We will be using them to hold our supplies at our table spots. If anyone has cans that they can send in, I would really appreciate it. If you use a can within the next couple weeks PLEASE send it to school.

THANK YOU!

I Went Walking

Here is the keynote we made. Each student went outside and took a picture of one thing that they saw. When then learned how to put it into a keynote and wrote about what we saw. It went along with our story we read. The story was called I Went Walking.
