End of the Year Celebration

Parents, please join us Tuesday, June 2nd at 8:30 in the science lab for our End of the Year Celebration and Awards. We have some fun activities planned for you. We can't wait to see you!

Spacey

We have had a great week out in space! Building space helmets in the art center.

Measuring rockets in math

matching numbers to number words in the writing center and writing our answers on rockets

We built rockets in the math center using pattern blocks. We had to record the number of times we used a particular pattern block.

After reading the book, How Many Stars in the Sky, we made a class book. We used a star hole punch and put stars in our sky and had to write the sentence I see ____ stars. We used chalk to add details to our picture.

We created planets in the art center and were allowed to use up to 6 space stickers on our space scene. We then had to label each sticker we used.

Legos were introduced in the block center.

We really had some fun and made a big mess in the science center with moon dust (flour).

After writing our number words from 10-0 BLAST OFF, we had fun writing our own story.

This group made 855 tally marks! WOW!!

We've Got Talent! Yes We Do!

Last Friday Night, Ravenel had their yearly Variety Show. Our class performed Singing in the Rain (Tooty-Ta Version). We did such a great job.! We were so anxious waiting behind stage to go on. They said we were the best behaved group of kids!

This week marks the end of the dinosaurs in our class. We've had so much fun these past 2 weeks. Look out space! Here we come! We enjoyed eating "dinosaur" eggs for snack!

We ALL had a BLAST writing our own big books! Some of us even skipped centers to stay and finish our work. Mrs. Henderson, the Assistant Principal, was amazed at our writing skill!

After exploring fossils in the science center, we enjoyed putting together a 3 layer puzzle of a dinosaur: skeleton, flesh, and skin.

Bump has become one of our favorite math games.

This week we opened a flower shop. We had to take orders and write cards for our flower order.

Big Book Fun!

We were so proud to put together the large T-Rex floor puzzle.

For snack we pretended to be herbivore dinosaurs and eat salad! YUM! YUM! Our teachers were amazed that so many of us loved salad!

The Week the Dinosaurs Came Back!

Painting dinosaur tracks in the art center-We then had to use stencils to trace dinosaurs to go with our tracks.

We were so proud when we were able to put the large dinosaur floor puzzle together.

Measuring dinosaurs in the science center-We used measuring tape and recorded our findings in inches.

We built dinosaur dens in the blocks center.

Some of our favorite books to read in the reading center are books that we have written as a class.

Sorting dinosaurs and recording our results using tally marks

After reading a story about dinosaurs, we were given a secret egg. We opened the egg to discover a dinosaur. We glued the picture in our science journal and had to write a descriptive sentence about our dinosaur.

We had fun listening to dinosaur stories, writing and drawing about our favorite part.

At Mrs. Williams' table, we completed a math activity comparing and estimating the size of a human foot and dinosaur foot.

In the writing center, we had to put dinosaurs in ordinal number order, write it, and put a dinosaur sticker beside each number to show 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.
