In Math we will hopefully be ready to take another test by the end of the week. We have been learning about money and time and this week we will be learning about measurement. We will measure with different manipulatives and will be comparing items in a group. I am confident we will do wonderful on this test!
In writing we will also be taking a test - and it will take us two days to complete it. I have been talking to my friends about all of the things good writers do - we review the six writing traits daily and have been trying our best during writers workshop. We took a practice test already and will do one more practice and then we will take our real test to show Mr. K and the first grade teachers. I just know that they will be amazed at the great writers I have in my class this year!
In Unit Studies we talked about the Earth and the continent, country, state, and city that we live in! It was a ton of fun and we even made our own little maps! This week we will be talking all about the wonderful state of Nebraska that we live in and making a book about our state symbols!
We will also be trying to finish up some of our yearlong projects we have been working on. I have been collecting all of our art work so I apologize in advance for the big bag of artwork that will be coming home soon! We will also be practicing for our program - so please be on the lookout for your childs lines for the program that we would love for you to practice as well as the rsvp!
This year we went on three little field trips and we had a blast at each one of them! It was my intention to make a video and blog about each trip but the time got away from!
Our first trip was to the Hardware store where we got to buy some soil and seeds - we also walked through the store and the outside plant area and go to see so many cool things. We learned about seed potatoes from Ms. Sharon, we saw many different plants and vegetables, we learned about what seeds need. We even met a man who lost his arm and got to hear his story because all of my friends were very curious and had many questions! We also met a lady who couldn't start her car because the battery was dead - so we learned about how Triple A comes and helps you out! Then we learned about cement and construction and how they wear bright colors and helmets to protect themselves. It truly was a informational little trip to the store! We learned so much and had so much fun!
Then we got to go to Chet Ager - where we got to ride a bus and explore nature! We divided up into two different groups and had a leader take us different places and show us different things. We used our senses to find both plants and animals. We saw so many cool things there and wish we could have stayed all day! When we came back to school we ate lunch outside and played! The only negative thing about this day was that I lost all of the pictures on my phone - so my group doesn't have very many pictures of us out in nature and I am soo very sorry - luckily Sam's mom snapped a few (there is even a picture of me taking a picture which is kind of ironic)!
Our last trip was to Bethany Park to just have fun! We walked down and ate a picnic lunch and played and played and played! We have worked hard all school year and deserved a fun day! Although I will say we walked a lot faster down to the park then we did coming back - but it was a wonderful day!
You will also notice we had on our super cool Meadow Lane shirts that I just love and adore on each of our trips and I know my friends enjoy wearing them as well! They want to take them home and I promise on the last day of school they will get to wear them home and keep them!
Again we had so much fun and here is a video of all three of our trips!
