The Creepy Crawly Things!

This week we learned all about different insects, YUCK! On Monday we learned about ants and how they work together. We did a little role planning as we pretended to be ants leaving a trail from their ant hill.
Getting the treat and leaving the trail

Tuesday was all about bees. Even though we all agreed that we would like bees to stay far away from us, we also learned how important they are. Not only do they make delicious honey, but they help flowers grow. We saw had this worked hands on by "flying" flower to flower and leaving marks to symbolize pollination. This activity is always a favorite!


Drinking the nectar, AKA apple juice 



On Thursday we read and learned about butterflies. We learned about how they go from eggs, to caterpillars, make cocoons, and finally become butterflies. We made a chart using noodles to help us see the life cycle of a butterfly. 





In phonics we have been learning more and more sounds! This week was about "v" and "f". Sometimes they can be easy to mix up! We also read a story book about Christmas (already!). 

In math we started to learn my favorite math concept to teach, addition! The students have been adding everything in sight!

Next week is Thanksgiving! Hope to see you all at the feast on Tuesday! Have a wonderful weekend!
