We kicked off our exploration of colours in Science this week with lots of fun activities. We started by discussing what we already know about colours and found out that we know A LOT! We read a cute story called "The Crayon Box That Talked" and then we created a colourful giant crayon box that showed how we are all unique but fit together as a group in 1D. We sorted our crayon caddies into colours as a group and started to learn to read colour words. Our Colour Science Day was so much fun! We tie dyed t-shirts and watched the colours spread and mix right before our eyes. We painted with dye extracted from food. We made tints and shades on our very own paint chip. We examined opaque / transparent liquids.
We celebrated the 30th day of school with Zero the Hero by sorting, counting and patterning with Fruit Loops and making a 30th Day Pumpkin!
We created, labeled and extended many different kinds of patterns this week in Math.
We are getting the swing of Word Work. Our activities this week included Rainbow Writing and playing Rainbow Writing Roll and Spell. Their printing is getting to be so neat!
The next segment of the Daily 5 that we have learned is called
Read to Someone.
During this time, students read with a partner following the EEKK rule below.
We practiced this skill by reading our Big Pumpkin mini books to each other.
We continued our focus story - Big Pumpkin - this week. We focused on the setting, characters, beginning, middle and end parts of the Reading Rope. Students had to show the beginning, middle and end by drawing about it in their writing notebooks.
We made our own big pumpkin patch! All the pumpkins are unique, just like us!
