We have been working in the computer lab on our animal research projects!
We have been learning how to search for information and how to take notes in our own words.
We are learning so much about our animals!
Next week we will be putting all our research into different projects so that others can learn about these animals, too!

We can't wait to share our learning with everyone!
Mrs. Albertson's kindergarten class invited us to dine at their annual Black River Cafe!
We were seated by our waiter or waitress who then took our order.
We got to order one snack, one dessert and one drink!
Our order was delivered right to our table!
The food was delicious!
When we finished, we got a bill and paid for our meal at the register.
We loved eating at the Black River Cafe!
The Kindergarteners did a great job!
Thank you Mrs. Albertson's class for inviting us!

We worked in pairs today in math to create two different arrays with the same number of tiles.
We are learning through manipulation what an array is and we are continually practicing the terms "row" and "column".
One partner used the tiles to make an array and then the other partner rearranged (we liked this word because it goes with our spelling pattern of prefixes this week) the tiles to make a different array!
When we finished with the arrays, we wrote repeated addition sentences for both arrays.
We understand that an array with 4 rows of 5 is the same number of tiles as an array with 4 columns of 5.
This hands-on manipulation of tiles really helps us build a foundation for multiplication, division, fractions and even reading graphs!!

It must be spring because we have started working on our animal research projects!!
We are working with a partner to learn about an animal and to create some sort of display or book or project where others can learn about the animal, too!
Today we thought about what nonfiction text features we want to include...
...and we started a rough design of our project! "Starting With the End in Mind" is one of the 7 Habits of Happy Kids that we have been learning an practicing this year! Having our plan in places helps us know what research we need to do, what materials we will need and what help we need from adults!

As we continue to learn about life cycles, we focus a whole lot on EGGS today!!
First, we put eggs in the incubator. Later, we learned about the parts of an egg. We used raw and cooked eggs so we could easily see all the parts!
We learned about the membrane, yolk, albumen, germinal disc and the chalazae. Each part has a very important role to play in helping a baby chick to develop!
We learned a LOT in this egg-speriment!
Today we put thirteen eggs into the incubator. We put some water in the bottom trays to help keep the air moist. We watch the temperature closely, and keep it right at 100 degrees. Twice a day we will turn the eggs, just as a mother hen would do. On or around May 1st, we hope to have some chickens hatching!
A HUGE thank you to Mrs. Seelye for bringing us eggs to hatch!
