Farmer Dress up Day, Cooking, Fractions, Oviparous Animals, Spring Egg Hunt, Snow Days

Goodness!!!  I have been terrible about updating!!  I need to get back to my normal schedule!!  I will include some picture at the bottom of each post that I missed from previous weeks.  Sorry!!

Farmer Dress Up Day
We have been studying farms.  During this study, we learned about what we get from farms, what animals are from farms, and a farmer's job.  To conclude our study, we dressed up like farmers.  It was a fun day!!




Oviparous Animals
While studying farm animals, we learn that several animals lay eggs.  We expanded this learning to find out that lots of animals lay eggs.  We learned about penguins, birds, reptiles, and two mammals that lays eggs.




Cooking
This week we have been studying the letter Qq, it's sound, how to write it, and words that contain a Qq.  For our cooking lesson, we make "Queen's Tarts" using graham crackers crumbs, vanilla pudding, and cherry pie filling.  It was yummy!!!






Fractions
In math, we have been studying fractions.  We discovered how each part of the fraction must be equal.  We discovered with words "half" and "whole."  We also learned how to make a "fair share" by dividing a set into equal parts.

Cutting a slice of cheese into equal halves.




 We read The Doorbell Rang.  We used Cookie Crisp cereal to make a "fair share" of cookies.









We read Bear's Berries and used our own "berries"(Captain Crunch Berry Cereal) to make a fair share.


We read The Easter Egg and made a "fair share" of Easter Eggs. 






Spring Egg Hunt








Winter Snow Fun
What do you do when it starts to snow in Texas??  You go outside!!  We enjoyed a little snow fun two times this winter while we were at school.

Star of the Week, Winter, Groundhog Day, Donuts with Dad

Star of the Week
This week our Star of the Week is a friend that loves the color purple and wants to be a baby doctor when she grows up.  She says she likes to take care of her baby doll and she thinks we will like to take care of real babies, too!  I bet she will be a fabulous baby doctor someday!!


Cooking Zz
This week we learned about the letter Zz and made Zebra pudding.  It was so yummy!!!









Winter
This week we have been talking about the effects of Winter on animals (and humans) and how they adapt.  We studied migration, camouflaging, and hibernation.



Did you know skunks hibernate?  We do!!!


Groundhog Day
Monday, February 2nd is Groundhog Day.  We predicted what what we think will happened when the groundhog comes out of his burrow.  We can't wait to see if our predictions are correct!!!



Donuts with Dad
This morning, we celebrated the relationships we have with our dads, grandpas, uncles, and father figures.  Thanks for coming to celebrate with us!!






(I had to throw one in of my own kids with their dad!!)
