Birds, Birds and more Birds

This week we have been learning about birds. We have seen birds that live in different places, are different colors, are different sizes and some do not fly. We also learned a new big word oviparous. We learned that it is a name for animals that come from an egg.

The most exciting thing this week is that we have eggs in an incubator getting ready to hatch. They have 6 days left until time to hatch. We have been candling eggs to look inside. We saw the heart beating, veins, and the blood ring.

On Wednesdays we have been having a special visitor Mrs. Oberbye and Amanda. They have been bringing in different types of chickens for us to see. We got to pet a Black Giant hen.

We are excited about the new chicks that we may have.

Reptiles, Rollerskating and fibers

In P.E. we have been learning about roller skating, we have learned how to stand up and how to toe stop. Our fifth grade buddies have been helping us. It has been lots of fun.

We have been working with Mrs. Newport's class learning about different types of cloth. We found out that cotton comes from a plant, wool comes from sheep and silk comes from silk worms. To finish up our project we went to Spurlock Museum on a filed trip, it was exciting. We made a Adinkra cloth while we were at the museum.

What has a backbone, is cold blooded and has dry scaley skin? A reptile. We have learned about snakes, turtles, alligators and lizards.

Finally in math we have learned some new songs about pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters.

It has been a busy week!
