Yesterday, one of our Block A students, Miss Weese, led an experience on the senses. She and a small group of students harvested basil and peppers from our garden and then created a dip to enjoy! The whole class got to taste the dip and talked about how it connected to their five senses.
It tasted like Basil! Regan
It tasted sweet! Addie
I think it smelled like cheese. Dylan
Its a different kind of smell- cheese and watery. Amiah
I hear the dipping. Addie
I heard the sounds of people crunching. And I heard a scrape when I dipped the pepper! Tajanaye
I think it feels good to make your own food. That way you can grow big and strong. J’Den
I also wanted to share something we have been spending a lot of time on during Reader’s Workshop- reading strategies. The past two weeks, we have been working on Ready Rooster (getting ready for the first sound in the word) and Stretchy Snake (stretching the word for all the sounds you hear). This week, we have been working with Chunky Monkey (finding word parts that are friendly to you and chunking them as you read). Mr. Henderson created this amazing and funny video on blabberize.com with a monkey talking with his voice. We have been projecting it on the big screen and having the kids do chunking activities with the Chunky Monkey. The kids LOVE it!
