Our letter is "K"

Our new letter is "K". Our sight words are "up/down".

Sail away with me!

Boy did we have a fun week! We got wet and wild with our water experiments. We learned a little about buoyancy with a 'sink or float' experiment and a foil boat building center! Check out these experiments and many more fun things we did this week.

We used some new science terms when we "predicted" which items would sink or float in the water.

Here is our boat building center! We each constructed our own foil boats and then tested which boat was the strongest by seeing how many pennies it would hold!

This boat is holding a lot of pennies!

After our experiment, we scanned our transportation QR codes to watch an informational video clip about boats!

We "got smart" using our SMART table to engage in a transportation sorting activity.

We also practiced our short vowel awareness on the SMART table.

What better way to cap off the first part of our week, but to make water color boats. After we made our boats, we wrote in our journal using our new sight word "want", saying "I want to go to ______ in my boat".

Look at the beautiful colors!

Finally...my new favorite project...license plates! We learned all about transportation, so now we need a license plate to get on the road!

The "new" plates made an appearance too!

I just love this so much!!!

Our new letter is "e" and our sight word is "want"

More community helpers!

We were so lucky this week to have more community helpers visit our classroom!

Dr. Sycamore and Mrs. Sycamore came to talk with us about their jobs as dentists.

 Mrs. Sycamore showed us what some of the very first toothbrushes looked like.

 Marlaina and Melissa both showed us the right way to brush our teeth.

We also had a policeman visit us!  He talked all about his job and the tools he uses from his uniform and in his police car.  The kids were great listeners and really enjoyed his presentation!
