We welcomed March by talking about some of the happenings in March... birthdays and the coming of spring. Today, the children realized that I removed the weather graph and replaced it with a 'weather calendar'. We will be tracking the lion and lamb days for the month of March to see if the poem, March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb, is correct. Since this morning was cold, the children decided that it was a lion day. We decided that the children will use the temperature as the guide for determining lion and lamb days.
Our question of the week was: How do you feel on rainy days?. Most of the children felt happy because they like to splash puddles. They graphed their answers and talked about the data on the graph. Following this, they drew and wrote in their journals. Their task was to draw a picture that matched their sentence: I feel ______ when it rains because ____________. I was very pleased with how the children are drawing with details so that their pictures can ell a story.
The children looked at the unified cubes that some of their peers assembled yesterday to compare the rainfall in deserts, Williamstown and rainforests. When they saw the different lengths of unify cubes (9, 44, 100) they understood how much it rains in the rainforest.
We continued to review the letters XYZ.
Tomorrow's conferences will be in the classroom,
