Adjectives Galore

We have been learning all about adjectives in Mrs. Gilmore's classroom!  We sang songs, read books, and brainstormed many exciting adjectives!  I am so impressed with how quickly the children have caught on and how well they are able to generate adjectives on their own!

  I am also very proud of the growth in our journals through our adjective studies! 

Here is one of our songs we loved and some book titles that we have enjoyed! 

We also did a fun and precious activity to describe ourselves! 

 We hope you enjoy!

Song:  Unpack Your Adjectives

 

Some of our favorite books...

 

 

 

 Awesome Adjectives About Me Project!

The children had a blast working on these and did an amazing job on their portraits and describing themselves!  We have certainly grown up! 

Then we became "Hungry for Adjectives" after reading Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar!

 

 

 

 

 

Fun with Dr. Seuss

We had a blast learning, reading, rhyming, writing, and laughing with Dr. Seuss.  We spent two weeks reading his books, exploring his characters, learning special spelling patterns, rhyming and much more!  Here are some pictures of our Dr. Seuss madness!

We made our own /at/ word family words!

After reading Dr. Seuss' Foot Book, we traced our feet,

decorated, described, and measured with cubes!

I have more pictures of our actual measuring and working, but my other camera won't cooperate at the moment!  I will add them as soon as possible!

 After reading The Cat and the Hat, we made our own Thing One with our handprints and then wrote a story following the story stem...If Thing 1 and Thing 2 came to my house...

Make sure to stop by our room to see these in person!  They are too precious!

 

After reading The Lorax, we learned about the Lorax project and how we can help our environment! 

After reading The Lorax we learned all about the Lorax project from this website...

We made our own Truffula trees and then proceeded to write about The Lorax.  We completed the story stem...If I were the Lorax...

The children were asked to explain what they would do to help rebuild the community and help the trees, if they were the Lorax.  Next we took a picture in the Lorax's silly mustache!  We put this all together with our story!  Come check these out in our room as well!

 

A few more to come soon...

Dolphins

We have had a wonderful time learning all about dolphins!  We are in the process of constructing our very own dolphin to display in the Gallery of AEEC!  We hope to have pictures of our process up soon!  We will keep you posted!  During our studies we found many fabulous videos and sites on these amazing creatures!  Here is one of our favorite dolphin sites!  We hope you enjoy!
