While one color group was making their puppets, the rest of the students were working on their four squares drawing that we do monthly to show our progress when writing our name, drawing a self-portrait, and drawing two other drawings. We are excited to see how much progress we have been making since September.
We found another mitten outlined by tape on our bigger carpet and we all tried to see if we could fit in it together. We were successful in doing this so we tried to see if our new puppets would fit. As we read the story, each of our puppets slowly were added on to our mitten. We also used our puppets to teach each other about our animals. We look forward to using them more and more in the future!
We also played different math games with partners.
We have also started painting a silhouette of our animals in our visual journals using paint and sponges.
Finally, another highlight of this week was that we continued to work in our animal books/ posters. We focussed more specifically on interesting facts. We learned that an interesting fact is something new that we learn that makes us say, "Woah! That is interesting!" Students used Pebble Go, books, and photographs to discover interesting facts about their animals. Did you know that bears can climb trees? Did you know that owls have silent flight, which means that they make no sound when flying so they are able to sneak up on mice when hunting?
