Lemonade

In honour of summer vacation coming and just reading this book...

We're going to make lemonade. 

I'm looking to borrow anyone's manual juicers next week. If you have one we can use could you please send it in for us. 

It looks like this. 

Thanks!!

Zoo

What an amazing trip to the zoo! This inquiry all started by M sharing his trip to the zoo. His mom emailed me some pictures of their day trip which opened up a world of discussions, observations, and creativeness. 

We made a list of questions we want to learn about

The children became authors and illustrators of their own zoo books.

The penguin aquarium that many of the children have seen at the Detroit Zoo.

The children created enclosures for their animals. They had to learn about their habitat, so that their animals lived happily.

We created a graph, the categories where 4 different habitats. The children had to sort all the different kinds of animals. Then they changed it on their own...feathers, fur, scales and fins.

The children painted the different areas around the world where the animals come from. Their natural environments.
They are a painting a jungle, forest, dessert, arctic and oceans.

The children work together to add details to their paintings.

All the animals have been sorted into their homes. They took turns being the zoo keeper.

Here is the admission gate at the zoo where the children had to use their money to buy tickets.
They made the tickets and had to use their knowledge of money to buy a ticket.

Go Tell Tattle Turtle

This is our new friend - Tattle Turtle. 

He is a friend who listens to you. You can tell him anything. Sometimes, if you listen carefully he will give you some advice to help you solve a problem. 

This is Tattle Turtles nest. He lives here, sitting on eggs in a hole in the sand close to the ocean shore. 

This is a portrait of his ocean home. 

He lives right here on our window ledge, available for the children to come and tattle to or just talk about their day. 

Sometimes the kids tell on their friends about things that they can solve themselves. Like "he didn't help clean up with me. " So we tell the children to tell tattle turtle. I bet he'll help you solve the problem. (Because they already know to give their friend a reminder to help them)

If it is an emergency, then they know to tell a teacher. 

Freezes!!!!

We are soooooo hot!!!!

If anyone is willing to donate small packages of freezies, it would allow us to have a cold treat after those hot recesses. We are able to store them in our classroom freezer. 

Thanks!!!



THANK YOU FOR ALL THE DONATIONS!!! Kids are loving it!!
