March 25th - Weather & Easter

To begin our week, we started a KWL chart about weather:

What we Know, what we Want to know, and what we've Learned

From the chart, you can see 'rainbow' listed in both 

the Know and the Want to know column.  

We knew that rainbows came after rain, but we wanted to

 know a little more about rainbows.

So . . . we watched a movie about rainbows and 

talked about why we see them.  

We also talked about some funny traditions we have with rainbows 

- like following a rainbow to a pot of gold.

We drew our own rainbows and wrote what WE would like at the end of it!

 I said a pot of chocolate, but everybody else stuck with a pot of gold : )

 We also wanted to learn a little more about seasons and plants.

We made a season book, called "The Story of the Tree".
 It helped illustrate the visible changes in plants during each season.

It involved hand stamps!  

 More pictures of this finished product in the next few weeks.

Our morning work this week involved CVC words.  

We looked at pictures and filled in the beginning, middle, and ending sounds.

The highlight of our week was our Easter party.

What's an Easter party without an Easter egg hunt?

We played "pin" the egg in the Easter Basket.

And Egg-O (instead of Bing-O)

I called out a letter sound, and the students had to find the picture whose beginning sound matched my letter sound and mark it with a mini marshmallow.

We made lots of Easter Crafts and got lots of Easter treats from our friends!

And of course, ended the party with a dance, with bonus gymnastic tricks off the Love Sac by the girls, and break dancing moves by Montego!

Happy Easter!!
