What to say about today? Stir crazy kids. (To be fair, Trey was his usual focused self.) Between Noah running around like mad and "helping" and Jocelyn being contrary and everyone seeming to have spring fever today, I hope the kids got something out of today's lesson on deserts.We tried really hard to focus and pay attention and worked on getting our wiggles out with an extended outdoor playtime, Hullaballoo and the Hokey Pokey.
We learned that some deserts get rain, lots of it. We watched
time lapse photography from Planet Earth as the Saguaro cactus swelled immensely after a rain storm. We also saw various animals from the Australia, The Gobi, The Sahara and other deserts such as camels, fennec foxes, elephants, birds, lizards and kangaroos try to live in such harsh environments.We reviewed letter "o", we added "ch" and "wh" to our other digraphs, and the kids made their own sand art. Some chose to do sand dunes, some created sand mountains. Super cute.
I think Thursday we'll cover elephants!!!!!
