Our first full week of school has started and all was well.  We had 14 things listed on our Class Agenda and we accomplished them all!

We began our day with 2 new “visitors” in our room.  We have a caterpillar and a chrysalis! Both are now in our Science area for close viewing.  The students are VERY excited.  The caterpillar eats Milkweed leaves only and we are enjoying watching him eat the leaves.

The chrysalis should be forming a “J” in the next 3-4 days and will start shaking and shedding it’s skin.  Hopefully we will have a Monarch Butterfly when it hatches.  We even know how to tell if it is a boy or a girl!  We are enjoying being Scientists.

READING-High Frequency words for this week are “I”  “can.”   Look for these words to come home on their papers.

Take a look.  I couldn’t get them all, they were just so excited to look.

Here are some quick pictures of Math Exploring with Pattern Blocks.  Again, they wouldn’t all look up because they were so engaged in their creations.
