Lately in First Grade and Flat Stanley Part 3

Last week in our class we studied oviparous animals.

(One of my favorite units!)

I didn't take many pictures of our activities throughout the week, but I did snap a few of our oviparous animal reports.  I had the kids break up into groups depending on what oviparous animal they wanted to research.  Each group did a little research at their table using nonfiction books, while my intern and I called students over to our computers to research some more.  The kids were great "little reporters". The students took their research notes into a report and boy did they do a great job.  After the report was written the kids made paper pictures of their animals. They turned out so creative and cute!

This week during science we studied Spring.

Here are some sweet Spring Poems using their 5 senses.

Lisette's Flat Stanley flew to Illinois to visit my sorority grand dot.  She is a news anchor and always does an awesome job.  She always puts him on the news and sends a video for the kids to watch.  They LOVED it.
