LabRats come to Owen!

On Wednesdsay the Lab Rats from the Children's Museum came to Owen for an inschool field trip for all kindergarten classes.  During this time students had the chance to explore magnets.  Here are some pictures below of KD in action. 

KD learns about different countries

Yesterday KD participated in World Kaleidoscope at Owen.  We learned about two different countries Costa Rica and Nigeria.  The volunteers came to the classroom and talked about their country.  KD learned a lot of new facts.  This event fit perfectly with our map skills unit we are currently doing in Social Studies!

        

Leprechauns!

Last week we read a story about a leprechaun and practiced retelling the beginning, middle, and end of the story.  Then we created a "how to" list of how to catch a leprechaun.  Students helped me sound out the words and write the letters onto the sentence strips.  Then, they created their own leprechauns and wrote a sentence describing their leprechaun. Some examples included, "______________'s leprechaun loves gold." "___________'s leprechaun likes to share his gold with friends."
