We are learning about life cycles and we've started the unit by learning about frogs. We have read about the life cycle of frogs and done some sequencing activities. Then we started learning about the different types of frogs. We had fun learning that some frogs use camouflage to hide from predators and other frogs are poisonous and let predators know by being bright colors. Then we painted camouflage and poisonous frogs. We also began writing informational books about frogs.

Ms. Blanchard brought in her bunny named Lyle to say hello before our April vacation. We learned about bunnies and how to take care of a pet. We learned that Lyle is a lot of work and having a pet is a big responsibility. We also felt Lyle's soft fur and learned what he likes to eat.
Our school wide science theme is "under the sea" so we went outside during our museum room class and created ocean murals We took turns getting into the boat.
Eric Carle - "The Very Busy Spider"We read Eric Carle's "The Very Busy Spider" and then used sentence strips to read main sentences from the story. We tracked the print by pointing to each word while we read and continued to discuss what to do when you get to a word you don't know. Then we put on character crowns and acted out the story.
Center TimeWe have been enjoying center time at the end of the day. Here is a look at some of our centers. Eric Carle - "Little Cloud"We read "Little Cloud" by Eric Carle. After reading the story we took turns tracking the print and reading sentence strips from the story. We pointed to each word as we read aloud and we discussed what to do when you get to a word you don't know. We said that we can use pictures to give us a clue and then look at the word and sound it out. Then we created and painted our own "Little Clouds".
Eric Carle "Today is Monday"We read "Today is Monday" by Eric Carle and then worked together to put the story in order. We discussed the days of the week and took turns putting the pages in order. We also sung the song and compared it to the version we usually sing by Dr. Jean. Then we wrote our own version to the song.
