B is for butter and bread! Today our class made homemade butter. We put heavy cream and marbles in a jar and everyone had a turn shaking it! The result was delicious! The first 2 weeks are off to a wonderful start! We are making friends, learning the classroom rules and having fun! Today is the 100th day of school! We had some fun activities today such as counting to 100, not talking for 100 seconds ( which was very hard to do), dancing for 100 seconds, putting 100 stickers on paper and trying to make a fruit loop necklace. We turned our classroom to the Olympics today! We learned about it and found Sochi, Russia on our world map. The students passed the torch to each other, colored an Olympic hat and painted the rings. We also played some games such as bean bag toss and our interpretation of curling! We all had a blast and everyone earned a gold medal at the end!! One of the books that wevare reading this week is "A Snowy Day". We had fun playing with the snow inside today. We used markers to color the snow. The students worked together in pairs to paint a scene from Gilberto and the Wind. These used black and brown paint. They worked on skills such as cooperation and listening while working together to create their painting. |
