Highlights:
- We had the opportunity to meet author, G. C. McRae! He read us some of the books he wrote: The Tooth, Party Ballerina, and The Cannibal Anaconda.
- If you would like to order a book from him, he will be in our school again next week (Wednesday, Nov. 20), so you can fill out an order form (see below) - these will be available if you ask Mrs. Yoon or Mrs. Kidd on Monday.
- We also met up with our big buddies and had some reading time together!
Our big buddies learned about how to read to an audience, so they were practicing their reading skills on us! Then, we had the opportunity to share a book that we chose and read to our big buddies.
- For outdoor learning, we went on a color hunt! Using various color samples, we had to go outside to find those colors in nature. It was really fun!
This was a dark reddish-brown
This was a deep red
This was a light yellow
This was a light grey
This was light orange
We found so many different colors in nature from things such as the leaves, berries, and grass!
- For science we learned where colors come from! White light is made up of all of the colors of the rainbow. Rainbows are made when light passes through the water droplets in the air and the light splits into the different colors. Here is a fun song we watched to help us remember the colors: ROYGBIV
- We painted a rainbow using the "ROY G BIV" letters:
- We also learned that things look like they are certain colors because they absorb (take in) some colors and reflect (give off) other colors. The colors that we see are the colors that are reflected.
- So if a leaf looks red, it is because the leaf is reflecting red.
- If something is white, it is because they are reflecting all of the colors.
- If something is black it is because they are reflecting none of the colors (they are absorbing all of the colors)
- We also added up our minutes of movement break, and the total came to 29 minutes! We were not able to meet our goal of 45 minutes, so we are going to try for it again next week :)
