A Blizzard of Learning!

While the weather was warming up outside, we were learning about chilly winters in the classroom. On Monday we talked about our favorite winter activities like snowman building, sledding, and ice skating. We also went into a small science lesson with what type of clothes is worn in different seasons. One very brave volunteer modeled some appropriate winter clothes (though they may have been a little big!).

On Tuesday we talked about snowmen! The students completed a creative writing assignment about writing about why their snowmen melted. Some imaginative answers were that they drank hot chocolate and came inside!

On Thursday we worked together to take care of winter birds (or really any birds!) by making some bird feeders. They are super simple to make! Just take bird seed and mix in melted lard until they are squishy. They place them in any mold and freeze! I hope you birds enjoy it!

In phonics we have learned more long vowel word families like oat, oad, ow, and o. The student are getting quicker at recognizing these in their reading! It's so amazing to see their progress.

In math we started talking about measuring with centimeters and counting/recognizing 120. We have also finished up memorizing our phone numbers! So be sure to ask your child to give you a call!
