Little Historians....

The students showed a strong interest in the beginning of the year for the Titanic after checking out some books at the library, so the 100th anniversary of the ship seemed like a fitting time to learn a little more about this historical event.

 Our "Titanic Facts" book. Each students received their own copy and we read it together as a class.

 Each child drew one thing that they remembered or thought was interesting from the book.

 Creating Titanic bubble maps summarizing some of the main facts from the book.

Finished product!

To end the week, the class created Titanic box creations. They loved showing off all their hard work!

Eggciting Easter in Pre-K!

It is crunch time in pre-k! I am so sorry that we have not been able to update this lately. They have been busy bees in pre-k and have enjoyed showing off their new kindergarten-ready skills!

This is our classroom sight word tree! During journal writing, the students look at the tree for the spelling of some of our Dolch sight words.
