Today we started the Skit & Skat program series thanks to Vt Fish & Wildlife. Today we explored the Grey Fox. We explored a couple of books that helped us think about how different animals move in their habitat. 

We connected how important movement is for animals and people too. When we move we help keep our bodies strong. This supports Global Goal #3 Good Health & Well Being.

Look here to see the video we watched about Antarctica. It was created and narrated by a young child. The children have been very interested in animal life on land and under the water as we explore this unique and interesting continent.

Today we explored how we can take care of our materials at school. We came up with a list.

1. Put things away when finished

2. Check to make sure caps are on all markers

3. Put pencils back in the container.

4. If we see material on the floor, stop and pick it up.

5. Help others

6. Remember to compost

7. Remember to reuse whenever you can.

8. Put trash in the right place.

 Look here to see photos from today.  This week we have created pattern books. Pattern books have similar words and repeat throughout a story. This is a great way to become familiar with and read frequently used sight words. 

Here is a video we watched about the life of dolphins.

Today we read a wonderful story about what can happen to penguins when people are not careful with the materials they carry on ships. Thanks to the kindness of a few, positive people, a problem can be fixed!

The children created beautiful scientific drawings of penguins today too.
