Splat the Cat Where is the Easter Bunny?

 Oh, we had so much fun today making our Splats and doing the little writing activity. This is from a pack by Christie over at First Grade Fever. It reinforced our study of characters, setting, fiction, nonfiction and retelling all in one little craftivity!! 

Who could ask for more! Thanks Christie!

Happy Easter Splat!!  A look at our wall!

Little Popcorn Scientists!!

So, today the little people were popcorn scientists! It was a quite "yummy" experiment.

Our popcorn experiment results!

The first step of our experiment was to "smell" our popcorn.  The little people came up with all kinds of adjectives to describe their popcorn by smell.  Some of their choices were:  good and buttery.  They all agreed that when it pops it sounds "poppy".

Next, the little people checked out how the popcorn felt.  They thought the it felt bumpy, squishy and soft.  When looking at their popcorn the decided it looked white, yellow, bumpy, light and like little clouds.

Tasting was our favorite part of the experiment!!  It was yummy, delicious, crunchy, salty and some even thought it tasted sweet!  What a fun way to experiment using our 5 senses!

Little Bunnies Writing the Room!!

Oh my goodness, these guys were so dang cute! I found these adorable little bunny masks at the Dollar Tree.  So, I just had to have them for our Writing the Room Center.  The kids were as excited about them as I was.  They were even hopping as they went from one place to another writing their words!!  I was laughing and enjoying just watching them. Everyone wants to be in the Bunny Writing Center this week!!

 Such a cute little bunny!

 Oh my!  Isn't he something? Here, look what I wrote!

 Here, look what I wrote!

 Check out the 3 little bunnies in the back right hand corner working together!

We Love Our 5 Senses!!

This week the little people and I are studying the "5 Senses"!  We're having a lot of fun listening to and guessing sounds we hear on a tape, reading lots and lots of books about our senses.  Even our Math Talk this week is all about our senses!  We're also singing songs, doing taste tests, smelling smells and tomorrow we're doing a little writing activity all about popcorn!  Watch for them tomorrow evening!  Today we did a labeling activity Cara Carroll shared on her blog.  Below are some of our adorable little friends! 

Here's a picture of our "We Love Our Senses" wall!  You can't quite see all of them.  But they are just adorable!!
