On Monday we talked about the wonderful way that God made an octopus. They can squirt ink, camouflage, and squeeze into small crevices. We did a little writing assignment and craft about the octopus. I think they turned out super cute!
On Tuesday we studied shells and sorted them each in our own special way. Some students sorted by shape, size, color, and one even sorted by texture! The student enjoyed observing the shells similarities and differences from each other.
On Thursday we learned about God's incredible creation of whales! An average blue whale can be 100 feet long! We went out to the hallway and measured just what 100 feet would look like! We then learned about how God made animals that swim in cold water to have extra fat, or blubber. We experienced how this worked by feeling ice cold water with our hand, then feeling it with a fat around out hands.
In phonics we have begun the tricky letter blends of "sh" and "ch". We have a professor straight from Harvard coming in to help teach this. He name is Dr. Flemmingway, and she happens to look a lot like me with glasses on! We also have been reviewing hearing the ending sound in words, which are a lot harder to hear than the beginning!
In math we are going over some big numbers! Like 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's. On Thursday we learned about the exciting number 100! We showed our understanding of 100 by making 100 dots on a paper.
Next week is the Valentine's day party! Can't wait for a week filled with thinking about those we love!
