                             They were supposed to be pointing to their feet!

They sleep ALL DAY!!

We've been learning about nocturnal animals for the last week and a half! We know that their schedule is the complete opposite of ours! We learned about owls, cats, and bats mostly!! Bats eat fruit, cats and owls eat small animals such as mice. Bats have fur and sonar vision which helps them see at night! HOW COOL! We wished we had that vision! We even watched a cool video from National Geographic Kids! After reading one of our books we had a bat fly into our room! She became our new friend! Her name was STELLALUNA! She told us her story, how she tried to live like a regular bird, but she was too different. No matter how different she was, they were still nice to her and tried to help her! They were good friends to each other!

She's asleep!!!





Now about our owls. We learned about Snow Owls, which we realized we  might have a hard time seeing around our homes. We don't get much snow! They are very pretty though! Some of us have seen brown owls in our backyards or at parks! MYTH-OWLS CANNOT TURN THEIR HEADS ALL THE WAY AROUND!! FACT- They turn their heads back and forth so fast it looks as if it goes completely around!

Owls out of SHAPES!!!



We made bats as our snack and they were ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!!!!

Ingredients
1 oreo split in half
1 chocolate doughnut
2 Candy Eyes/Mini Marshmallows
1/2 Pretzel Stick

Instead of using Marshmallows we decided to use the cream from our Oreos!

We had to make it into some nice eye balls!

Someone was a little anxious!!

It's trying to fly away from the plate :-) 

MAIN EVENT!

After selling the candy to support our school, students got rewarded by taking a limo ride and eating at Bojangles! They also got to go to the Main Event, which had lots of fun things to do! Thank you to all the parents who sold candy! The children really enjoyed this event!!! 

Arghhh Spiders!!!

Last week was all about SPIDERS!! We learned all about spider's body parts, how they make a web, how they catch their food and lots of more good information! We read several different books that focused on spiders. Here are a few shown below. 

After reading Magic School Bus Spins A Web, we got to watch the show! It was a great opportunity to compare the book to what they saw in the video! They loved seeing the characters come alive!!

To continue our spider unit, we made spiders in our art center, made spider hats, and finally made a DELICIOUS spider snack!!! Our art center spiders were made out of yarn and pipe cleaners. Our spider hats were extremely fun to make. We read a Haiku poem about spiders and traced the words! We had to learn how to fold our paper to make crinkly legs. It was very interesting!!!
