The class was surprised and thrilled this morning to see our library mice decided to become our very own class pets! Sam and Sarah played happily as we learned today. It will be a classroom job to fee them every day. The kids like watching the mice run on their wheel, play and eat...they do some funny things like trying to run together on the wheel and going upside down. We will continue to write notes to our friends and read to them during the day.
We introduced a couple new sight words this morning and practiced reading in our readers and books. Students compared and sorted 2D and 3D shapes in math after a good review of all our geometrical figures.
After P.E. we concluded the very important Bible story about Easter and what happened to Jesus. We made observations on our bean seedlings; some are growing, some needed replanting. Students looked at our controls for water, light, and warmth and concluded water was the most important factor in seed germination.
At story time we heard an expository text about a sunflower seed and made connections with our bean seed experiment. We finished the day playing learning games of all kinds, in small groups, pairs and solo.
It was a positive day learning and I think Sam and Sarah were impressed!
Looking forward to more happy days at school,
Mrs. Luoma
