In The Jungle...

Hello again everyone! as the week continues on, the temperature just keeps on rising. Along with the high humidity, its feeling quite "jungle like" outside!

Riley shows off the jungle decorations.

     In fact, the classroom is transforming into a jungle right before our eyes! With vines, monkeys, palm trees and even a giant frog, Our room is going through quite a few changes.

     

     Also this week, we talked about the tiger Shere Kahn, the mean tiger in The Jungle Book that does not approve of a man cub living in the jungle. Our art project was to make our own tigers using paper bags and construction paper, and they turned out great!

     We also worked hard on our vocabulary words this week by matching up pictures of Jungle Book characters with the correct words, which were located throughout the room. 

Alliet shows off some great work matching vocabulary words.

Tomorrow our students will be having a great time dancing and exercising in our Zumba time for Fun Friday! be sure to check back in on Tuesday for more updates from the Jungle! 

Summer is in full swing!

Summer is officially here! the temperature is rising but our class is staying cool. Last week, we had a great time on our trip to the Monroe County Fair! We beat the heat and enjoyed a day of rides, games, and a visit to the different animals that where on display.

On Tuesday, Buddy the therapy dog came to visit our class. Students took him on a walk, played fetch and gave him plenty of treats. 



Also, our class has volunteered to help maintain our sunflower garden, which is located right outside of our classroom window. Every Tuesday, it is our classes responsibility to make sure the sunflowers are watered and healthy.

This summer our school wide initiative is to promote literacy in preparation for the opening of our new library. Each class is picking a story to read and discuss throughout the summer, and our class has chosen the Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. The story focuses on a young boy who was found alone in the jungle, and was rescued and brought to live amongst the animals. We are learning to indentify twenty vocabulary words that go along with our story. Here are just a few; Monkey, Jungle, Village, Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Boy and many more... a complete list was sent home to study.

Please be sure to follow us and check back in for more exciting updates (including pictures)!
