Vowel Sorting Game

Vowel Teams are two vowels that make a special sound. We practiced a lot with them this week. When two vowels go walking, sometimes the first one does the talking. But there are some vowel teams that don't. The OU vowel team makes the Ou sound like in ouch or couch. The au team makes the AU sound like in august instead of the long a.

Miss Crowley gave us a vowel team candy corn project. We worked with two other people to find different words that had vowel teams in them. We have to highlight or mark the words that we find, and then we have to write them inside the candy corn vowel teams that match.

My team was Cobra, and Dog and me. We loved working with vowel teams!

Art Vistas

Today we did Art Vistas and we made awesome tissue paper pictures. I learned that you can blend a lots of colors and a lot of new colors with tissue paper. We talked about foreground, middle ground and background in pictures. Foreground comes first. Middle ground comes next and then comes background. It was a really fun time.

Campbell History Museum

This past Tuesday 2MC went to the Campbell History Museum. We had so much fun! 

When we went to the museum we played a vocabulary game and we did stations. -Dog

We got to barter stuff at the general store. I bartered pears for cloth, tea, sugar and yarn. -cobra

We got to pick out our own food. There was apples, yarn, brown eggs, white eggs, pears, bread and onions. -Snake

This is picture shows a car from the old days. They had squiggly chairs in the front and they have a bar and not a stirring wheel to move the car. -Cheetah and Leopard

One station we visited was the cannery. We learned they picked apricots in campbell with their hands and put them in cans to keep them fresh. -King Kong

We got to learn all about the fruit. -Grizzley Bear! 

We looked at old and new cans. I realized that the new can looks more realistic. -Horse

I liked making my own label because we could put our coins in and I loved coloring the label because they were really cool crayons and I pretended I had my own fruit company. -Giraffe

We got to make book marks at the Campbell History from vintage wall paper and it was really fun!

 -Hamster

We had a tea party. We got to take a piece of bread and apricot jam and peach tea! -Rhino 

We got to touch things that said please touch. We got to play with some toys that kids had from long ago. -Kitten

We got to wash clothes the old fashioned way. Then we hung them on a string to dry with pins. -parrot

Too Many Pumpkins!

We read a book called TOO MANY PUMPKINS! It was funny. It was about a lady who did not like pumpkins. Then at the end she started to like them. She had a party and before she had the party she made jack o'lanterns and all the people in the city wanted to see her jack o'lanterns. Then she had a great big party with the whole city. We read the story to learn about what the author was trying to tell us. We learned that in this book the author was telling us many things. The author taught us that pumpkins can be made into lots of things and that you can change your mind about things that you don't like.

We liked the story a lot. What I liked the most was that the lady had a wonderful time at her party and I like pumpkins because they make great jack o'lanterns and that they are really cool. They can also be made into lots of things to eat. That is why I like pumpkins.

We made pumpkin art. We painted newspaper and cut the newspaper into a pumpkin shape. Then we painted it orange to make the pumpkin color. Then we put eyes with buttons as pupils. And then we made the mouth and teeth so it could be a jack o'lantern. Ms Crowley is going to hang them in the windows.

I loved the pumpkins that we all made. We hope you like our silly pumpkin face picture.

The Two Vowels that Go Walking

This week we learned when two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking. When they go on a walk, the first one talks. For example, when A and E are walking. A does the talking. E does not do the talking. When I and O go walking. I does the talking. It is the same as A and E because it is the same thing. Now we have a trick for when two vowels are in the middle of a word that we don't know. 

Check out the video. We love to watch it.

Mr. Bones

Mr. Bones loves Math. We had to make him. There was math problems on each of his bones except his face. They were 3 digit addition problems. We had to solve them and then put him together on a black piece of paper. Then we could color him and give him stuff to put on like a bow tie or a hat. We could make a cane or a guitar or some drumsticks or anything we wanted for him to hold. Then we got to glue the bones onto the paper. Next, Halloween I want to do this again. It was lots of fun.

Our Halloween Characters

We made Halloween Characters. The rules were no art supplies like markers, pencils, crayons or colored pencils. But we could use paper, glue and scissors. We've been learning about how to describe a character. Next week we are going to write the descriptions.

I made a monster named Monster guy. Bunny made a devil. Parrot made the headless horseman. This was the best project ever. I can't wait to write my description!

Word Family Webs

Last week we learned a lot of new words. We learned that words fall into families. Words that have similar patterns are in families together. So we made Word Family webs! We all had fun making the webs. We filled in words that went in families.

We then read a story called, "Diary of a Spider." We learned that stories are more interesting with interesting characters. Miss Crowley had us make a list of characteristics of grampa spider and little spider. We described them and did a 5 finger retell!

Then we got to the fun part, which was making the spiders, and we attached the spiders to a string. Before we did that we punched a hole in the web and the spider so that our spiders could hang from their webs. Then Miss Crowley put them up!

It was really really fun to make spider webs!
