We read a fun poem about blowing bubbles with bubblegum. I didn't run it off, but here it is: This bubble I'm blowing, this bubble is growing--- this bubble of ginormous size. It's as big as a plate. You can watch it inflate. This bubble will win me a prize! This bubble I'm blowing, this bubble keeps growing--- this bubble does not want to stop. It's as big as a planet. Can't get bigger---can it? This bubble will never go... POP! We were word birds today and used context clues to help us understand two tricky words. Ask me to tell you about the words ginormous and inflate. We also worked with thinking of more words with /ub/ in them. Ask me to tell you some words with /ub/. We began reading a book Ms. Wang suggested to me last year called "What's Your Favorite Animal" by Eric Carle. This book is actually a collection of short stories and poems by popular authors and illustrators. Eric Carle wrote about a cat, Tom LIchtenheld wrote a poem about a giraffe, Mo Willems wrote and drew about an Amazonian Neotropical Lower River Tink-Tink, and Peter Sis wrote a beautiful story about a family tradition that involves his favorite animal, the blue carp. We had a wonderful time exploring the meaning behind some of the words, and enjoying the humor of the pictures and stories. We will continue reading stories from this book the rest of the week. I continue to try and make time for these kindergarteners to play. Here are a couple pictures some of my friends are very proud of, and for good reason. Check out these awesome builders! We took a look at the Eaglecam today to see what is happening with Mr. President and The First Lady. We saw the eagle get up and turn the eggs and re-position itself on the egg. We will check in over the next few days to see if one or both of the eggs hatches. I'll be sure to check the camera myself before turning it on for the kids since there is a chance the outcome may not be what we all hope for, but we know that in nature, sometimes natural consequences are not happy.
