Beetles, Sea turtles, Spiders and Groundhogs

Did you know some of our mealworms have changed into pupae and darkling beetles? Every day we observe the changes in science. We're also learning the parts of an insect and all about external features of different insects and animals. 

Check out what one group did during centers! They used the pocket chart and worked together to show the lyrics to a favorite song. 

In writing this week we wrote a descriptive report about sea turtles. Today we made a baby sea turtle out of paper and practiced following directions and careful cutting. Next week we will choose our own animal and write a descriptive report with a partner. 

Who will win the Superbowl? We collected data and compared numbers today in math. Most of the class thinks the Seahawks will be the champs!

Christopher's mom read us a pirate story today. She was a great mystery reader!! Who wants to read to us next week??
