The Very Hungry Caterpillar sequencing game

We ate like the Very Hungry Caterpillar today! Munching our way through apples, pears, plums, strawberries, oranges, and watermelon (and maybe some spinach?)

In science we continue to learn about the life cycle of the butterfly. We have no caterpillars still munching, many still in chrysalis, and we have released 3!  We hope to release the rest of them for their flight to Mexico before the cold weather sets in! We have learned so much about the caterpillar life cycle! Next week we will begin learning about apples and their life cycle.

We started our Go2Science mission about Dinosaurs in Wyoming this week. We are in search of evidence for our hypothesis: There are dinosaur fossils in the Bighorn Basin. Was Deinonychus there? If you don't know about Go2Science yet, you are soon going to know a lot about it!!! Fun!

Books: Cont. re-reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar,  enjoying LOTS of other Eric Carle books, Gotta Go! Gotta Go! (a book about a little caterpillar and her journey), and some fun ABC books. We are also using our book boxes daily and developing good reading skills. 

In math we are getting to know numbers 0-10, sorting, discussing a graph, using math manipulatives, using 5 frames, practicing with quick looks at collections of dots, finger counting, working with shapes 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)

Upcoming Dates:
Thursday Sept. 26- Open House 5:30pm-7:00pm                            
Friday Oct.11- No School- Professional Day
Monday October 14-No School Columbus Day
