This morning, after our regular routine, and before Phys. Ed., we read The One and Only Ivan. We learned all about Ivans home in the jungle, when he lived there as a baby. Then, he told us about the time he lived with Mack, his owner, at his house and at the mall.
After Phys. Ed. we practiced our word wall words with Mrs. Cokar, we had a choice as to how we practiced for about 15 minutes. Then Mrs. Cokar brought one of her books to read to us today.
To end the morning we did Health. Today we talked about healthy snacking. First we made a list of all our favorite snacks - strawberries and yogurt, orange cup, ice cream, bear paws, chips, bananas, etc., then, we looked through the list and circled all the items that were the most healthy. To wrap up the activity, with a partner, we discussed what healthy snacking means. We then came together, shared our ideas and came up with a final definition - A healthy snack is a snack that is nutritious and has foods from 2 or more food groups.
First thing after lunch we had music. We are all ready to go for our performance tomorrow evening!
For the remainder of the afternoon we planned our dioramas we are going to make for Ivan's domain. Mrs. G showed us pictures of different animal dioramas as examples of what will be making. Then we went into our own visual journals and designed what it will look like. We also included a list of materials we will need to create the dioramas.
If you can, please bring a box, about shoe box size, for the dioramas. Also, any other materials your child would like to use, you are more then welcome to send with them. Sending the boxes to school by Thursday would be great, as we are going to start the building process tomorrow.
Reminders:
-Tomorrow night is our concert. Please meet in our classroom at 5:30. Mrs. G will be with us while parents go enjoy the entire performance.
-All library books need to be returned to school by Thursday this week, if a book is late, you will be receiving a notice next week.
