5/24 Classroom Update

This week, we had so much fun camping in our classroom! We learned some camping songs, learned about different places and ways to go camping, discussed things people like to do when they go camping and how to stay safe while camping. We learned about the -ot word family, worked on retelling stories, and associating numbers with different patterns. We also finally finished up our letter books and were able to bring them home yesterday! Here are some picture highlights from the week:

Observing our butterflies in the classroom!

Letting our butterflies go!

The butterflies kept landing on us!

Fishing at the water table!

Camping out in our classroom!

After reading A Camping Spree with Mr. Magee, we experimented with building tents out of toothpicks, marshmallows, and paper. 

We built -ot word family words with playdough.
