A Peek into the Cherry Blossom Classroom - week of 5/1/23

Focus Lesson: Birds

This week the Blossoms studied Birds! We learned about Bird Classification, or what makes a bird a bird! We know that birds are vertebrates, are warm blooded, are covered in feathers, lay hard shelled eggs, take care of their babies, and have two wings and two feet! We enjoyed looking through many different bird books and learning the names of the different species of birds that we can see outside of our classroom window or at home.

This child is tracing and labeling the bird puzzle. He has found a picture of a robin in the Birds of Ohio book and colored his picture appropriately!

Our class made many different species of birds this week during their trace and label activities using this amazing Birds of Ohio book! We had to hang them up because they were so beautiful!

Bird Week is the best week to wear your flamingo shirt! Twinsies!

Preschool Lesson: Eggs

Preschoolers learned some very big words with Ms. Sam this week. They learned the word Oviparous – which is an animal that lays eggs! We learned that fish, birds, amphibians, reptiles, and insects are all oviparous. But mammals, including humans, are Viviparous – they birth live babies! Our favorite work activity this week was sorting the animals in our science area by weather they lay eggs or don’t lay eggs.

We learned that birds, amphibians, reptiles, fish, and insects all lay eggs in order to reproduce. This means that they are oviparous!

Kindergarten Lesson:

Kindergarteners learned about conjunctions with Mr. John this week in Kindergarten Lesson. Conjunction Junction, what’s your function? I hope you sang that! Writer’s Workshop and Reader’s Workshop continued writing their poetry.
