Our Favorite Three Bears Story

We had a wonderful time this week comparing/ contrasting different versions of the classic tale, Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We did a fantastic job identifying the characters, setting, problem, and solution of each of these stories. After reading several different versions, we voted on our class' favorite. Please see the results below!

 

 

Our Study of the Three Bears

Today, we enjoyed tasting some porridge. Please see the single venn diagram we completed to find out how many of our friends liked porridge that was "just right"! Venn diagrams are a great way to collect data and compare more/ less!

 

 

Upcoming Blood Drive

I hope each of your little ones came home today excited to teach you about... BLOOD! We enjoyed a presentation today from representatives of LifeSouth, a nonprofit organization that works to help hospitals attain blood supplies through blood donations. They are working to create a "Donation Generation" with our students. What a worthy cause! Please see the information in your child's Friday Folder concerning dates and times of how you can be a part of the blood drive to be held at AEEC. Here is a picture of us with LifeSouth's mascot, the bloodhound.

Exploring Solids and Liquids

We had a fantastic time learning about one of Africa's most well-known landmarks, Mt. Kilimanjaro. Through our research, we found that Mt. Kilimanjaro is actually made of three volcanoes. We conducted a volcano experiment to watch an actual eruption. We discussed the materials used and classified them into solids and liquids. I hope you will enjoy these "explosive" pictures and videos from our experiment.

We love to celebrate our birthdays!

We had such a great time learning about each of our friend's birthday. Please enjoy viewing some of the data we collected as we learned about each friend's special day!

We discussed that 11 was the most, 4 is the least, and 7 is between these two numbers! We sure are smart!

We enjoyed reading all of our favorite nursery rhymes as we learned to identify rhyming words! Here are two itsy bitsy spider stories we read! As you can see from our data, Itsy Bitsy, the Smart Spider was our favorite!!!

We are very excited about earning money for market!

Hatching Chicks

We are so excited that we have eggs in our classroom that will soon hatch into chicks. Just like the farms in America, the farms in Italy have chickens, too! We keep these in an incubator to keep them nice and warm, just as if their mother hen was here. We can't wait to see the baby chicks! Check out the chart we made of all the different "chick facts" we've learned.

 

 

Fun with the Pigs

Today, we read the story,  My Lucky Day about a little pig that continued to outsmart a fox! Then, we made a web of what we would do on our lucky day. Their responses were great! I hope you enjoy our web!

We have been very busy this week as we have prepared to celebrate the March 2 birthday of the famous children's author, Dr. Seuss! We have read many of his most famous stories!

I hope you will enjoy reaading our favorite green foods!
