Week In Review
Here is a little peek at what we’ve been up to:
Language Arts:
Hailey has been working hard on writing a story. First she wrote up a rough draft, then we typed the story, and finally she is working on illustrating it.
We have been having a lot of fun doing an author unit study about Tomie dePaola from Around the Kampfire. In this activity, Hailey made her own version of Tommy- the boy from the book The Art Lesson. We talked about how an author can tell us how he/she is feeling by the things that happen in a book. For example, Hailey though that Tomie dePaola thinks that people should be themselves because in the story Tommy is told that a real artist would never copy.
As we read through the books we will add to our gallery of characters- for now this is Hailey’s drawing of Tommy from The Art Lesson.
This is the cute folder we made to keep all of Hailey’s work in from this unit.
Science:
We are learning all about worms during science. Hailey checking out some worms that we used for various activities.
Hunter and Hailey made little habitats for the worms to live in. I love the look on Hailey’s face as she is picking up a worm to put in her jar.
The jars had oatmeal on the bottom, then we layered them with sand and dirt. We put worms on the top and then added some leaves. We observed them and watched them build their tunnels.
Other:
Hailey has decided that she wants to add a weekly baking lesson- so she made us some delicious cupcakes.
