IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

Today we began creating the rocket/spacecraft/space shuttle (depending on who you ask it has a different title).  After the children made plans yesterday of what they wanted the rocket to look like, they used those plans to help them create the rocket today!  We are in the beginning stages of it, but tomorrow we are going to continue to work on it.

THIS HAS BEEN SUCH A FUN WEEK!!

Mr. Nored led a discussion with the children about finding juicy “sight” words in books, and the children came up with some great ideas from the book he read.  In the afternoon he showed a picture of Saturn and the children had some wonderful juicy words to talk about like it was “slanted” and “light” and “yellow/brown”.  All of this exploration of juicy words that has to do with our senses is to help us notice those juicy words in books we are reading as well as use those words in our own writing to really engage our readers even more than we already are.  After the conversation was done about Saturn, we had them get into their best Saturn “statue.”  Mr. Nored and I noticed some pretty great statues with much creativity!
