First, we performed for the Volunteer Tea. Some students in our class played the recorders (melody, harmony 1 and harmony 2), while others sang and played the tone chimes and xylophones. We performed the song "Hot Crossed Buns."
Next, we started writing a short story! We discussed the criteria for short stories. They must have characters, setting, beginning, middle, end, problem and a solution. We started by reading a few short stories in our class, such as "The Ninjabread Man" and "Thunder Boy JR." Then we brainstormed many different problems that we could write our own stories about. Finally, we started planning our stories and writing our first draft. Next week, we will continue writing and editing!
Lastly, we started learning about the mealworm life cycle. Currently, they are in the larvae stage. Some are shedding their outer shell (molting). They will transform into a pupa and then a beetle. We observed the mealworms and did some sketching. We also learned how to classify animals into groups (mammals, amphibians, birds, fish, reptiles, insects). We are looking forward to our zoo field trip in a few weeks!!!
Love Room 13
