Batty in B-7!

This week, we've been going "Batty in B-7!" On Monday and Tuesday, we learned a lot of cool things about bats. We listened to B-B-B-Bats, used a Venn diagram to compare bats and birds, made bat necklaces, and wrote bat facts that we later made into a web using the laptops and Kidspiration software. We also learned a neat song about Echolocation. It was so much fun!

Today we learned about spiders, and we'll continue to talk about these creepy little creatures tomorrow. (Ms. B is NOT a fan of spiders!) We read the book Spider Names, and recognized that some spiders get their names because they look similar to something else. We then came up with our own creative names for a spider, wrote about it, and illustrated them for the class to guess.

Friday is Pumpkin Day in room B-7. Thank you so much to those who donated pumpkins. If you are available to help out in the classroom on Friday from 9:15-11:15, please just stop right in and join us!

Next week, we will be starting Unit 2 of our Reading Series. This unit focuses on long vowel sounds. We will be back into the 'usual' routine again. :)

On a side note... please be sure to dress your child for the weather. We do go outside everyday for recess unless it is raining. A light coat is often needed on chilly fall days.
Thanks!

Ms. B
