This week, we focused on the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. On Monday, we read an original version of the story. Students also got a chance to read and play with Mr. Lindemann (our principal) while Ms. Rice was out at a meeting.
Tuesday was a forest classroom day! We learned about habitats by sorting animals that live in a forest habitat, and animals that do not live in a forest habitat. We also compared the fictional habitats of the Three Little Pigs and the Three Bears to the real habitats of pigs and bears. At the end of our time in the forest, we took a walk on the path to see if we could find any animals that live in a forest habitat. We were as quiet as sneaky ninjas, but we did not see any animals. However, we did see evidence of animals like tracks and holes in trees.
On Wednesday, we read James Marshall’s version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears which follows the original story, but adds some silliness. Students had fun retelling the story with the puppets in the reading center.
On Thursday, we read Jan Brett’s “Three Snow Bears” which tells the story of The Three Bears in an arctic habitat. Outside, we had an arctic habitat of our own! We had fun playing with all of the freshly fallen snow by making GIANT snowballs and putting them together to make a climbing structure!
On Friday, we read “Rubia and the Three Osos,” a bilingual version of The Three Bears in Spanish and English. At recess time, the temperature was below zero, so we went to the gym to play! We had fun throwing and catching soft balls, playing chase, and jumping on a trampoline!
