Dear Families,
We welcomed Jaclyn from the Little Green Thumbs program through the zoo, back to our class this morning. This was our last time to work with her this year. Today she taught us about germination and how roots grow. We have begun a new experiment to show how roots respond to water when growing. Ask me how I set up this experiment. We could even try it at home as well.
After Little Green Thumbs we started writing the beginnings of our stories. We have done a lot of plans and got to choose one of those plans that we would like to make into a story. We are writing one part at a time. Today we started with the beginning. Ask me what ways we can start a story and what I did with mine. We had to use describing words, set up the setting, and develop the main character.
After snack and break we looked at the Buffalo Kit again. We learned about a really neat artifact. Ask me what a Flaking Kit is, it's purpose, and who would use it. We are learning lots from the Museo Kit. Our teachers love being able to teach with it.
In the afternoon we had Games Day in Gym and then had Flip Flop with music and continuing our story writing. Some people shared their beginnings in circle today. Ask me which was one I was interested in to hear more about.
Important Reminders
Love
