Parent's Picnic

We had a lovely time eating lunch in the pavilion with all our parents! Lemonade chips and cookies were a great treat! 

Parts of a Plant

Students use hand lenses to study the parts of live plants that we picked from our garden.

On a poster recording sheet, students labelled and wrote about the parts of a plant.

The roots collect minerals and water and send them through the stem to the leaves and flower. The leaves use sunlight to produce food for the plant. The flower produces seeds so that the plant may reproduce.

Retelling with Puppet Characters

Students made stick puppets for the four characters in Kevin Henkes book, OWEN.  

Students practiced retelling the story with a partner.  

Students practiced telling the events of the story in order including character names and details.

Using good intonation/expression is important when retelling a story. 

Some students even did a puppet show. 

Kevin Henkes Retelling

Students used six boxes to retell the story of LILLY'S PURPLE PLASTIC PURSE.  

In the beginning, Lilly loves school and her teacher, Mr. Slinger, until her took her purple plastic purse away from her.  

In the middle, she wrote an unfriendly note to Mr. Slinger and put it in his teacher bag. 

Next, she read a nice note Mr. Slinger had written to her and placed in her purple plastic purse before returning it to her. She felt horrible!  

At home, she told her parents about her mistake.  She and her mother wrote a nice note to Mr. Slinger to apologize. Her father even made the class homemade cheezy snacks. 

In the end, Lilly told Mr. Slinger she was very, very, very, very sorry.  She had a great rest of the day!   

Finally, students met with a partner to retell the story in all of its parts.
