Lately in Miss Jones' Class

Just a few pictures of what's been going on in our classroom lately!

Snowman Dice Game

Today we had so much fun playing a "Roll The Dice" game to see who could finish drawing their snowman first, the boys or the girls!  The boys were the winners, but everyone did great!

The winners

Penguins

This week we have been learning ALL about Penguins!  We've watched Discovery Streaming videos about them, read books about them, and used them in our math and literacy lessons!  We have been working hard on writing about Non-Fiction, so Penguins have been a perfect subject for us to write about this week!  Some of the Students' favorite facts are:
1.  Penguins can't fly because they are too heavy.
2.  Penguins use their wings to help them swim.
3.  Penguins slide around on their stomachs.
4.  Penguins eat fish.
5.  Penguins lay eggs.
6.  Penguins can jump out of the water when they are swimming.
Ask your students about penguins, they will love telling you all about them!

Maps

This week we started a new IB Planner called Where We Are in Place and Time!  We started by working with maps, learning what they tell us and making a map of our classroom!  They turned out amazing and I love watching to see how creative my little Angels are!

 

 

Field Trip

We had an amazing time on our Field Trip to The North Carolina Museum of Natural Science!  We got to see a lot of really neat animals from all over the World as well as learned a lot about the Animals who live in the different areas of North Carolina!
