Our Field Trip to the Science Spectrum!

The first week in April we had our Field Trip to the Science Spectrum. It's taken a while but I've finally gotten through all the pictures I took! The kids had a blast!

 

When we first walked into the Science Spectrum there were cages with rabbits and chicks in them!

This was hands down the LARGEST rabbit I have ever seen. It was bigger than the kid's heads!

We got to look at electricity in different places.

 Looking at magnets and how strong they are!

Making water move up tubes at different speeds!

Spinning around on the ... spinney thingy :)

He's not scared of the dinosaur at all :)

Climbing up the rock wall

They're pretty good!

We got to look at all kinds of different ocean life!

One of the coolest things we got to do at the Science Spectrum was see the reptile show!

We also got to see the penguins!

Our busy week!

This past week flew by! Here are some of the things the kids did in class this past week.

In math this past week, the kids sorted 2D and 3D shapes, played money concentration, colored by sum, and graphed animals. 

One of  their math stations was sorting 2D and 3D shapes.

The kids picked among circles and spheres, squares and cubes, or triangles and cones.

At my table the kids graphed animals and then answered questions about their graphs.

At a third station this week, the kids did an Easter color by sum page.

At their fourth station this week, the kids played money concentration. They had to match coins to amounts on cards.

In reading and writing this past week, the kids wrote drafts of their new story, unscrambled letters inside of Easter eggs to make words, matched compound words and sorted CVC and sneaky e words.

In writing, the kids practiced writing their own stories and making drafts.

They wrote and drew out their characters, setting, problem and solution before putting it on paper.

Unscrambling letters to make words.

The kids opened Easter eggs and unscrambled the letters to make CVC words.

After they made their word, they wrote it down in the Easter egg.

In science this past week, we talked about the life cycle of plants. In their journals, the kids ordered plant life cycle pictures. 

Money, Shapes and Counting by 10's!

In math this past week, the kids matched money. They did little matching puzzles to match coins to their amounts and to their names.

At another station, the kids sorted different 3D objects by shape. There were some 2D shapes mixed in so they have to make sure they split them up. The sorted spheres, cones, cylinders and cubes.

At another station, the kids practiced counting by 10's starting on different numbers and writing in the numbers in the blanks.

At my table this week, the kids spun different numbers and either added to them or subtracted from them.
