Hello Everyone!
We are back to school and getting back into the swing of things. Since we are going back to Language Arts, I thought it would be fun if we did some writing about the holiday. I would like the students to be creative with this. They can make up a story, poem, song, poster, art project, pretty much anything explaining their Thanksgiving and how it went. If students do not celebrate Thanksgiving, then they may write about something fun and exciting they did on their two extra days off from school. As always projects will be due at the end of the week. Have fun with this project and remember be creative! Think outside of the box! Email me with any questions you may have regarding the assignment! Thanks again!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Hello Everyone!
This week we are having another short week. We only have school three of the five days again! (Yay!) Since this week is so short I really do not want to start anything new. I have decided to wrap up the insect lesson with something a little bit different. The students did such a great job with their projects I decided to make a project of my own. However, I incorporated technology into my presentation. I have made a movie maker presention. It will serve as a review to the students to make sure they are 100% clear on the lifecycle of a butterfly. Students will want to be sure to pay attention because there may possibly be a mini quiz on after the presentation. (wink wink) I would like to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your time with family and friends!

Bi Week
Hello Everyone!
Last week a blog was not posted due to the fact that we only had school three of the five days. The other two days I had in-school conferences. I know this is a little late but just to let the parents know on those three days we finished up presenting our insect projects. All the children did a wonderful job! Next week will be doing something a little bit different. It will be the last week for insects and then we will be able to start something new!

Science Part II
Hello Everyone!
We had a very fun filled week of Science and learning about butterflies! Last week I picked the insect for you to learn about. This week you will be picking a different insect to learn about other then the butterfly. Students will be able to pick from ladybugs, grasshoppers, or ants. Depending on which insects students pick will determine what groups the students are in. Students will work together throughout the week to do research on the insect of their choice. They will be asked to tell the class about the insect by presenting a story involving their insect. Presentations will be on Friday. Students will want to be creative with their story. Make the story books colorful, use lots of pictures, and be creative! (Maybe incorporate a game?) Parents feel free to email me with any questions or concerns! My door is always open!

Science
Hello Everyone!
This week we will be starting Science! We will be learning about the life cycle of a butterfly. We will be discussing the cycles in depth throughout the week. I have several activities lined up for the students to complete. We will be reading the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. On Monday, I will be explaining the life cycle of a butterfly through role play. The students will use their bodies to demonstrate what metamorphosis looks like. First, they will become an egg. I will have them sit on the floor, grasp their knees, and tuck their head under. Next, the students they will change into caterpillars by stretching out on the floor and wriggling. After that, they will stand very still and cross their arms tightly across their chest to look like the chrysalis. Finally, I will demonstrate how a butterfly gently stretches its wings and begins to flutter. I will allow the students to fly around the room as butterflies in the rain forest. Each day we will do one of these fun activities! This should be an exciting and eventful week! Email me with any questions or concerns!
