Science and SS galore!

It appears that I need to do a little catch up with Science and SS!  I forgot a couple things that we have done lately...

Last chapter in Science we learned about different kinds of animals.  Our final chapter project was making animal magnets.  We have horses, deer, a frog, a giraffe, and a dog-- oh my!


In SS last chapter we learned about needs and wants, transportation, jobs, tools, and saving money.  To learn more about needs and wants and to check for understanding the difference between the 2 we made needs and wants posters.  In groups the kids found things in magazines and had to decide if they were a need or a want. 




This chapter in Science we are learning about animal habitats, food chains, and how they stay safe.  We made a paper chain to demonstrate how a food chain actually works and is connected.  The parts of our food chain were the sun, grass, butterfly, dragonfly, frog, and heron. 


This chapter we also made animal habitat dioramas.  First the students had to choose a habitat from forest, safari, ocean, and polar regions.  Then they had to choose 2 animals and decorate the inside of their shoebox to look like the habitat they picked. 





We are learning our double facts in math.  I made this posters so there was a visual representation of the doubles.


Our Christmas concert was last week.  They all made me so proud!  They clean up pretty well huh?



Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!!
