Happy Cinco de Mayo (Eve)!

We've had a festive day here at the CS! The students learned about Cinco de Mayo and made tissue paper flowers in Science Lab this morning.





We continued the discussion in class...

and then made it to lunch just in time to enjoy some yummy tacos and rice!



This afternoon we fingerpainted Mexican flags...




and pounded our pinata!

This afternoon we practiced tracing our names. I use Handwriting Worksheet Maker to create practice sheets for my students periodically. You can use print style, D-Nealian style, or cursive style and can print names, sentences, single words, multi-words, and paragraphs.





The computer center was also open this afternoon.



The art center was also open but I will share it tomorrow. We made our May bulletin board props. :D

Our vocabulary words came from our second read-aloud of Radio Man: echo, migrant, saguaro cactus, Gila monster, harvest, volume. Here are 2 journal responses to a vocabulary word. :)
"Look at all these echoes!!!"

This week's investigation is Where does trash go? What do workers do there? We also read Sam Helps Recycle. If you have any items in your home that are made from recycled products, we would love to see them!
