We're Going on a Walnut Hunt!

We're learning to add detail to our stories to help paint a picture in the reader's mind.  Can you spot the 'wow' words we used to describe the walnuts?

We went on a walnut hunt.  We walked through the forest hunting for a walnut tree.  Then we swished through the leaves looking for the walnuts.  I found some bumpy brown walnuts on the ground.  I love walnuts.

I filled my basket up.  We found the little, bumpy walnuts under the leaves.  They are hard, bumpy, little and very wrinkly.

We went on a walnut hunt today.  We found walnuts by the walnut tree.  They are little and bumpy.  I have not ever had a walnut.

Today we went for a big walnut hunt.  I found heaps of hard, bumpy walnuts.  They were on the ground and we had to search through the leaves.

We went on a walnut hunt.  Max got 1 and I got heaps.  They felt bumpy and dirty.  We had a basket to carry them back to Room 1.

Superhero Book Character Day

Wow what a fun day we had dressed up as Superheros! Snow White, The Cat in the Hat, Ninja Turtles, Spider-Men and more. We looked great!

Our Monarch Butterfly!

On Thursday Mrs Blakesley noticed that a chrysalis on our swan plant had turned transparent.  

Mrs Blakesley brought the chrysalis inside so we could watch it.

We could see the black and orange Monarch butterfly inside.

Within minutes the chrysalis split open and monarch butterfly emerged.

Riley said that the butterfly's legs were long and skinny like a spiders.  It's sticky legs helped the butterfly to cling onto the branch.

We watched as the butterfly moved out of the chrysalis and slowly began to unfold it's wings.

Slowly the butterfly's wings dried and filled with blood so it could fly for the first time.

This amazing change is called metamorphosis.  We were so lucky to watch it happen!

Red the Ted!

Red is our classroom teddy bear.  Every morning the children in Room 1 introduce themselves to Red.  He has loved learning their names and it has helped everyone in Room 1 learn each other's names!  

We practice using our classmate's names by playing some fun games!  We love singing, "Who stole the cookie from the cookie jar" and also calling names as we roll the ball to each other.
