The Mummy

 On Tuesday we played mummies.
 Lucas volunteered to be the mummy.
 Ms. Munne showed us how to wrap the bandages around Lucas.


 When she was done, Lucas ran after us.

 We had lots of fun running away from the mummy!

How Does the Rabbit Grow?

Ms. Munne showed us the rabbit chart and explained how the rabbit grows, the she read  books about the horse and the hamster.


We then looked at the chart and the books.
One group looked at the chart and the other at the book.
We also looked at the real bunny.  This one is still a baby.
Bia G. knew a lot about the bunnies since she has some at home.


Afterwards, we choose a picture on the bunny growth and cut and colored it.  We glued the pictures on a poster and talked about each picture and what was happening.  Ms. Munne wrote down everything we said.






The Dog Is a Mammal

With Ms. Eli we ripped suede paper to cover a dog cut-out.
We picked the colors of the dog: white, black or brown.  Bela and Gigi both picked white.
After ripping the suede paper we glued it on our dog cut-outs.





Animal Graph

In Ms. Larissa's group we counted animals.



Afterwards, in pairs, we glued the corresponding number of squares onto the graph.  Ms. Larissa helped us.







My Favorite Mammal



 We picked our favorite mammal and drew it in our journal.
My favorite mammal is the lion.

 We picked the toy and put it in front of us so we could draw it.
 Lisa did a great job with her rhinoceros.

Classifying Reptiles, Amphibians, Birds and Mammals


Ms. Munne talked about the characteristics of mammals and which animal are mammals.  She used the poster to help us understand.  She also reminded us of the other group of animals which we already studied, reptiles, amphibians and birds.

We then picked an animal and had to place it next to the poster of its group: reptile, amphibian, bird or mammal.

 We couln't look, we had to pick the animal without looking: it was a surprise!
 We examined the animal and put it in the chair of its group.
 If we didn't know, our friends could help us.
