Bad Apple

Since Thanksgiving is approaching today we talked about Friendship. We read the book Bad Apple and made text to self connections about friendship. The class was so great thinking about why we love our friends, and why they make us feel so great. 

Force and Motion

This week in science we are discussing force and motion. We discussed what that means and charted the responses. Then I showed them one of Kennedy's toy fire truck. I asked them if the truck can move by itself. We graphed either yes or no with a little tire they made. 

After everyone voted I had them sit on the edge of our colorful carpet. I placed the truck in the middle and told everyone to shout move at the truck 1 time. They had a lot of fun watching it not move. We then practiced moving the truck with a push or a pull creating force into the truck. After we made a car craft quickly. 

Uncle Bigfoot

We read the book Uncle Bigfoot today. Since we are focusing on Families so much this past week. We made text to self connections talking about our Aunts and Uncles and why we love them so much.
