In science we continue to learn about the life cycle of the Monarch butterfly. Some are still caterpillars and some are currently in chrysalis form. Hopefully they will think about becoming butterflies soon so we can release them for their flight to Mexico before the cold weather sets in! We are learning and observing so much about the caterpillar life cycle!
We are starting our Go2Science mission about Artifacts in Maine next week. We are in search of evidence for our hypothesis: Our friend, Dr. Hudgell, is an archeologist. She asked us to test her hypothesis that Indigenous people (the people that first arrived in a place and their descendants) once lived year-round on some of the small islands off the coast of Maine. If you don't know about Go2Science yet, you are soon going to know a lot about it!!! Fun!
Books: Little Spot of Love, Little spot of Confidence, Little Spot of Happiness, Little Spot of Anxiety, a variety of "welcome to school" types of books.
In math we are getting to know numbers 0-10, sorting, working with shapes, 1:1 matching with objects, noticing and wondering about math problems presented, and continuing our calendar routines.
We are still learning about the Woolwich Way! The Woolwich Way is made up of 6 qualities that will help us to be the best we can be! (Courtesy- I can use good manners, Compassion-I can help others, Respect- I can treat others kindly, Honesty-I can tell the truth, Responsibility- I can take care of myself and my stuff, Quality- I can do my best even when things are hard)
