This week, the Busy Bees rolled to an end of our first unit of the year by showing what they know and understand about various members of the community by matching tools and items with the people who use them.
After finding out more about a community member of their choice, each student imagined themselves in that role and made a poster to show where that person works, what they wear, and some tools or other things that they use or need to carry our their responsibilities. You can see their finished posters and hear some of their explanations on Seesaw.
During PE on Wednesday, the students helped create a race track, which they used for individual races and races with a partner. They cooperated well with their partners, making sure that they took responsibility for rolling safely around the track!
On Thursday, during PE the students took on different roles, either as a crab or octopus on the rollerboards as they tried to be the first team to collect all of the colored balls or ‘octopus eggs’ for their team without getting caught by the octopuses long arms!
In our weekly science lesson, we went further into learning about materials as we started identifying different properties of materials by observing how they look, feel, sound, smell or taste (actually we didn’t go as far as to taste anything!) Students worked with a partner and had to find materials that were soft or squishy like the cushions, or smooth like the whiteboard, etc.
During language time, Mr Jolly replaced Ms Jolly for the daily letter writing and phonics time and we had some epic duals as students defeated Mr. Jolly by properly writing the letter of the day on his belly with a whiteboard marker “sword!”
Fortunately, Mr Jolly’s death was only temporary as he came back from the dead to teach and challenge the Busy Bees again and again!
