Spiders

We have been learning and growing so much in the last month in Room 6. For the past few weeks we have been basing many of our lessons around Spiders. 

Here is a quick peek into some of the spider activities we have been doing in class: 

Our new read aloud is Charlotte's Web. Charlotte is a very special spider who makes amazing webs with messages in them. Charlotte is writing the messages in her web because she is trying to save Wilbur, her pig friend's, life! 

"We make predictions when we are reading about what is going to happen next."

"Ms. McIntyre sometimes uses funny voices for the different characters - like the goose!" 

When we finish reading novels we like to watch the movie and talk about the similarities and differences. (We get to have popcorn with our movies!)

This is our new bookshelf on the carpet area to keep our themed books. We use them to find information or look at during Daily 5 or Choice Time.

This is our Spider Fact Flip book. When we learn something new about spiders we jot our ideas down in the correct category. 

This was a math activity. It is like number of the day except you use the spiders legs to represent your number. We displayed our math on the hallway bulletin board for everyone to see. 

Here are a few examples:
