We've enjoyed some cute books about nighttime this week. We loved reading Russell the Sheep and found ways to put him to sleep. In math, we've been learning about fractions. The students made either pizzas or cookies to show their knowledge of equal parts. Have you ever seen an owl pellet? Owls "cough" up a pellet with whatever they cannot digest. We observed the contents of the pellet and even examined a piece under the microscope. Another fun book was Goodnight, Moon (a classic!). They made necklaces with their own version of what they say goodnight to. We worked all week on some cool nocturnal animal fact books. We read a lot of non-fiction books and they recorded the facts they felt were important. The students worked so hard on their 3D animals and research reports on nocturnal animals! They were shocked to walk into the hallway and see the display. We even convinced Principal Dow to come see it, too (but she had to hide her eyes for the surprise!). Thank you to everyone that participated in the Spring Creek BBQ spirit night a few weeks ago!

AuthorI am a retired First Grade teacher in Texas. I have two children, two daughters-in-law, a grandson and granddaughter. Our beloved pup, Rocco, went to heaven this year. He was 15 years old. I've been married 37 years. I would love to hear from any former students! Archives
