Monterey Bay Aquarium

Today was the big day for our virtual field trip.  Everyone was so excited to travel to California's Monterey Bay Aquarium.  We were able to see many videos of animals in action, including: sharks, otters, penguins, clownfish, octopus, rockfish, eels and more!  Parents you are invited to see the same videos by clicking here.  We enjoyed visiting the animals at the aquairum, and have already begun planning for our next personal narrative writing pieces. 

Tomorrow we will complete a plan for our writing.  On Monday, we will finally be able to share our experience with others by writing down our favorite exhibits from the virtual trip today.  Check back later next week to see the class' nominations for best storytelling featured here on the blog! 

Field Trip TOMORROW!

We are loading the buses and heading to California's Monterey Bay Aquarium tomorrow. Just kidding. We won't actually be driving to Monterey Bay Aquarium, instead we are going on a virtual field trip. From the comfort of the foam rug we will experience what it's like to visit one of the nation's most desirable attractions.

We have been working hard in writing to share personal narratives(a written story telling about something we experienced). We are struggling to remember all parts of our narratives, so we are going to spend the remainder of the week working on a personal narrative together. A shared experience is always a fun topic to write about.

Tomorrow we 'travel' and explore Monterey Bay Aquarium, then we will plan and write our stories later this week. We are excited to share our trip and personal narratives with you!

Can you guess which exhibit we will visit first?

Sorting in Math

We have been learning about attributes of objects and shapes. During math workshop yesterday we sorted sea shells, figurines, buttons and shapes based on attributes of our choice.
