The 50th Day of School

We definitely are 50 days smarter...look how far we have come in just 50 days! On Friday we celebrated the 50th day and what a perfect day it was--filled with floats, socks hops, 50's stations, and more! Check out our dance moves in this video. We would have fit in perfectly in the 50's!

Whooooo is learning about owls?

Now that we understand the concept of our "schema" (all the ideas we already know), we did some research to make our schema GROW for owls. We learned facts from books, magazines, and online. After drawing our owls, we wrote about a few facts, and then shared our thinking in this video.

Our Strong Schema

During Readers' Workshop we have learned about "schema"-- all the information in our brain...the "stuff" we already know a lot about. Our "schemas" are all different because of our varying experiences in life. We wrote and drew about areas where we have a strong schema. Check our our smart thinking in the video below.

Fair Haven Farms 2015

We were lucky enough to have a beautiful day for our trip to Fair Haven Farms a few weeks back. Marcia and her daughter Marne did an awesome job teaching us about the fruit grown at the farm and the signs of fall that surrounded us. These happy pictures sure make me smile! Enjoy!

The Wheels on our Bus...

For many of us, riding the school bus is something new! We made a predictable chart about riding the bus and also enjoyed singing a silly song about the bus ride. This song helped us practice letter sounds. Take a listen to our sweet voices in the video below.

Signs of Fall

Signs of fall are surrounding us! We have noticed them on the playground, outside our windows, at Fair Haven Farms, and more. We used the app "Drawing Pad" to help us draw and write about our ideas.
