Frogs, frogs, frogs! This week we are exploring the world of frogs as we read our final Gail Gibbons book. We'll read more of her work later in our weather unit, but this is the last of the author study books. Did you know what some toads can be as large as a football? Did you know a frog lays its eggs in a clump while a toad lays theirs in a line? We learned about their sticky saliva, their sometimes transparent skin, their enemies, their sounds, and their life cycle. We'll spend some time reflecting over the three authors we studied and come up with summarizing ideas before moving on to a new unit. Stay tuned!
This week we thought a lot about jobs from the past. Did you know that children often needed to have jobs? Three jobs we talked about children used to have in the past were pinsetters (bowling), newsies, and rat catchers. I wonder if the jobs parents have now existed long ago?
Our 100th day of school was this Friday. We did many activities centered around the number 100. We took 100 steps, counted to 100 many times, built with 100 materials, took 100 steps, waited 100 minutes and 100 seconds, and danced to 100! Check below for some pictures.
Valentine's Day is the 14th. If you plan to bring in valentines, we have 19 children total. That day we will have a special time where those children who bring valentines will pass them out to everyone. DOn't worry about bringing a bag to put them in. Everything they get will go home with them so you can sort at home.
