Classroom News

On our very short week back to school we tried to pack in a lot of information and fun activities! 

Hibernation

This week we continued our unit on Animals in Winter by learning about the black bear and other animals that hibernate in the winter time.  A lot of students had great background knowledge of what hibernation means.  Students shared their understanding by making a cave for a hibernating bear!  

Dr. Seuss

We celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday in our class by reading many of his books.  We practice the -at word family after reading Cat in the Hat.  On Friday we read Horton Hears a Who, which went along with the school's monthly theme of acts of kindness!  Students finished the prompt "If I were a Who, I would tell Horton..."  Students wrote thank you notes to Horton and some friends even wrote the word "appreciate," to tell him how thankful they were for saving their lives in the story!
