Open House/Book Fair
Our
Open House/Book Fair will be held on Thursday, April 23 from 6:30-8:00pm. All family members are welcome to come to
it. We hope to see you there.
Chick Update
We
have been reading books on chickens and eggs.
We have also been doing some activities to go along with what we have
learned. We are currently doing an
experiment where we have placed a regular egg into a jar of water, vinegar,
saltwater, and 7Up. We have talked about
the scientific method and are observing the eggs daily. We are recording our findings on a paper that
we have placed in the yellow chick folder.
Ask your child to tell you about their observations.
Chase will be
our “student of the week” for the week of April 20.
Math
We just completed Topic 13 on telling time
to the hour and half-hour. We are
starting Topic 14 which deals with using different types of graphs (picture
graphs, bar graphs, & real graphs) to collect data.
Reading
This week we read, Chickens Aren’t the Only Ones by
Ruth Heller. We discussed what the word
“oviparous”
means and found animals that were hatched from eggs. We also cracked open an egg and observed the
different parts. The children were able to touch the membrane and label the
different parts of the egg.
