Monday was backwards/mismatch day! There were many backwards shirts, pants, and mismatched color combos! The students even took it further by writing their names backwards all day!
Tuesday was animal day! It was a zoo in my room with two cats, a wolf, lobster, bear, and a bunny!
Wednesday was choose your own name day! We had lots of giggles calling each other different names like Alyssa, Bruce, Honey Bee, Chris Kratt, Rex, and Little Johnny Robinhood. My name was Mrs. Sippy, which the students thought was pretty once they understood the pun.
Thursday was crazy hair/hat day. We had some pretty good bed-head going on with some students!
Friday was class competition. The first graders put together a wedding (of friendship!) They were pretty cute walking down the isle (but don't them that I called them cute, that's not a "cool" word!). They got third place in the contest. But, they got first place in the Box Top competition this month!
The week, the students jumped back into phonics and reading with new reader books for Kindergarten, and new letter blends for first graders. In math, Kindergartners are learning about some teen numbers, and first graders have started to use their rulers to measure (in their words, FINALLY!).
We also started a new science unit, the sky! On Monday we went outside for a little observation of the sky. A red helicopter happen to fly by right when we went outside! Talk about perfect timing! On Tuesday we continued our work with the sky by talking about different types of clouds. We also recreated some clouds using puff balls. On Wednesday, the first graders created a cloud in a jar by using warm water on bottom, ice on the top, and then lighting a match in the middle. We briefly talked about why clouds form. On Thursday we talked about man-made things in the sky. After learning about parachutes, the students used their head and random material to create their own parachutes. We even went up to the mezzanine to test them out!
