We enjoyed an amazing lesson about erosion for Hands On Nature. We watched a great puppet show, then split into two groups. One group went outside and gathered items from outdoors to create an environment that would discourage erosion from taking place on their hill of dirt. We imagined there was a house on the top of our mound of dirt and we were trying to protect it from being affected by erosion. The other group participated in three different stations indoors. Each station taught them more about erosion and different kinds of things that cause erosion on our earth. When these groups were done we switched so everyone got a chance to do everything. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera and did not get any pictures of this great morning! Next time I will make sure to have it on hand.
Today was also Ian's birthday. He and his mother shared about his birthday and brought in a special birthday snack for the entire team. We enjoyed pretzels, popcorn, grapes and strawberries. A big thank you to Ian and his family for sharing this healthy snack. A big thank you to Jack and his family for sharing a healthy snack with the team last Friday too. We enjoyed many different kinds of fruit along with pretzels and popcorn.
Today was our first day of reading groups. Each group joined me at the rainbow table and got their first book to read during this time. When we were finished learning about the book all of my friends reread the book with a partner from their group during quiet reading time. Everyone did a terrific job during this first day of reading groups!
