WORMS!

We made worm habitats, had a worm race, and put their habitat in our tacticle center.

Sinking and Floating

This week for theme we did a sinking and floating activity. On Tuesday I started the lesson by reading two books.

Then, I presented the students with different objects. I let them hold each object and then as a class we made predictions on whether we thought that object would float or sink. We also talked about why we thought a particular object would float or sink. On Wednesday, I split the students up and they took turns placing the objects we made predictions on the prior day into the water.

 

 

 

 Students used a happy smiley face or a sad smiley face to record their findings. We discussed our findings and brainstormed ideas as to why some objects floated while others sank.

 

 

We had a lot of fun!

We loved Pete the Cat sooooo much that we wanted to keep the theme going with our Nursery Rhymes.

We compared and contrasted Pete the Cat, I Love My White Shoes, Pete the Cat and the Four Groovy Buttons, and Pete the Cat Rocking in My School Shoes.

 

 

Once we decided what each book had in common, we used that to guide the writing of our class book.  We reviewed which nursery rhymes we had studied; Mary Had a Little Lamb, Humpty Dumpty, Itsy Bitsy Spider, Jack and Jill, and Wheels on the Bus.  We had to decide what the problem was going to be and also include our skill of focus (rhyming).  The best part was "singing our song."  Here is a video of our completed project!
