Today the green gators went on a field trip to Kelly's Apple Farm. It was a cold trip, but we had a lot of fin too. The students learned how cider is made, and enjoyed a donut and a glass of cider. Ask your child to tell you about the machine that the farm uses to peel apples for their pies. After we were nice and toasty inside, we headed outside to the apple orchard. Each student got to pick a bunch of apples. Then we hiked over to the pumpkin patch. The students trudged through the mud and picked their very own pumpkin. Check their bookbags for their bag of apples and their special pumpkin. Be on the lookout for pictures from our trip to be posted to our blog very soon!
The red rhinos had a quiet but busy morning. We practiced reading our story El zoologico, and learned the spanish words for lion, tiger, zebra, bear, wolf, and monkey. We looked for the word el, which means "the" in spanish. After that, we practiced reading to self, and read for 20 whole minutes. Next, we read the book "A Color of His Own", and did our very first reading response, writing down what happened in the story, what was our favorite part, and what we liked and didn't like in the story. After that, we did our Wednesday word study activity, which is speed sort and re-write our words.
In the afternoon, the green gators spent some time writing about thier favorite part of their trip. Everyone (green gators and red rhinos) ended their day by listning to the book Salsa. Ask your child to tell you what they learned about the dance "Salsa." We are very excited about our celebration of Spain that will take place tomorrow afternoon!
