On Friday we were greeted by one of our painted lady butterflies. We are looking forward to the rest of our chrysalises to hatch. Last week we read a couple books about butterflies- the kids loved the books particularly 'Clara Caterpillar'. We had a great time finding all the spicy 'c' words the author used to describe the different characters.
In reading last week we worked on synthesizing and began to learn how questioning helps us become stronger readers. We read 'The Stranger' by Chris Van Allsburg and the kids did a fantastic job recording their questions before and during their reading. This book prompted some interesting discussion.
In Math, we continue to work with money. The class took a special interest in discussing prices from the past compared to prices of the same items currently. The ideas brought up were thoughtful and rather advanced. We will continue to work with money, creating change and working with decimals.
Ms. Jessi will come join our class one more time this week to continue our Metropolis lessons. The performance is fast approaching on May 23rd.
