We have continued our work with caterpillars (larva) and are hoping they will pupate soon. This week our surviving larva were moved to a common tank, and we are hopeful they will pupate soon. Before the move we took some time to observe them out of a tank for one last time. During this time students made some watercolor paintings of their larva.
We have also started some work investigating nonfiction text. For this work we will be using books to find features of nonfiction, magazines to extract features, and our notebooks to keep records of different features and what can be learned from them. This week we focussed on captions and that a caption is "words that need the picture to make sense." These photos show students work in their notebooks!
We also had a PBIS celebration this week. Throughout the year we will have celebrations as our "chip bucket" fills up. Throughout the school we are using small wooden chips to recognize when students are following expectations in different areas. Thus far we have had 3 celebrations, this week's celebration was a "pinata-extravaganza!"
There is so much more to share, but for now I will leave you with a few more images of what we have been doing! Thanks again for your continued support, and if you need to contact me feel free to email or call!
