Pumpkin Investigation

This week is all about pumpkins! Our poem this week is called "5 Little Pumpkins".
Our sight words this week are:
down, here, away, jump, funny


These are our last 5 words of our first sight word list! Please continue to review these all at home as we work toward learning our next list in November.

In our literacy block, we used our writing muscles in "work on writing". We wrote about anything we wanted! Ask me what I wrote about! I needed to follow 5 steps in a checklist to help me do this on my own!

Today we were scientists and started our pumpkin investigation. Our first way of investigating was through sketching. We sketched a pumpkin of our choice, and then used oil pastels to add all of the colours and details we could see in our pumpkin. We took our time so that our pumpkin sketches would look realistic!

Tomorrow we will investigate with a different method :)

Reminders:

  • Tomorrow is picture retake day. 
  • Thursday students can wear Halloween Costumes in the afternoon. Please so weapons or violence. 
  • Friday there is no school for students.

We counted that he tried at least 5 different ways to catch a star and did not give up until one of his ways worked! We brained stormed what perseverance is and made a list. Then, we drew pictures of a time that we thought something was hard but had to persevere to accomplish it. We drew before and after pictures of what it looks and feels like to persevere! Some of us drew about learning how to ride a bike, swim, skate, climb monkey bars, and play hockey. REMINDERS: We seem to have a fruit fly problem ...
