We had a fantastic week and a fantastic day today! Our field trip was great. We learned all about the first floor of the public library. Then we heard a story in the friends room. Thank you to all that sent food in for us to try for our Rainbow day. I was super impressed with the kids ability to try new foods. I even heard several kids find a new food that they thought they didn't like before. We played a rainbow game, we made rainbow chains, we ate the rainbow and we enjoyed a Sid the Science Kid about rainbows too. It was a great way to kick off spring break.
Learning Objectives for the week:
Science: Finding animals in the woods, where animals live
Reading: Segmenting and Blending words, In reading group we worked on strategies: check the picture, tap it out, cover it up and think what makes sense. Some groups even learned about the bossy e!

Here we go! We're excited about the library!
Happy to go back too.
We read a book called, "The Name Jar". In this book a little girl from Korea was trying to choose her american name. She decided that her Korean name was the one she wanted to keep. This friend showed us how to write her name in Korean! So beautiful!
Congratulations to Mrs. Concannon! She won Teacher of the year for K-2 with Columbia Public Schools. We are so proud!

We sorted food into food groups and drew pictures of food to go with it.
Mrs. Birdsong came as a Mystery Reader. I lost my voice so she was a huge help!

We made rainbow paper chains too. Some of the kids decided they were caterpillars.
