Fun with Chicken Little

I hope everyone had a restful and blessed Easter Holiday. It was a little short but worth the extended weekend. We decided to add a Little Chicken to our Easter week by reading several versions of the classic story, Chicken Little. With a litte help from my friend at First Grade Blue Skies, my class had in depth inquiry into Chicken Little, the variety of characters, the different settings, the unique endings and the delicious variety of writing prompts. Here is a final sample of their Chicken Little Artwork. We fell in Love with their cute faces.

The students also had a lot of fun counting, sorting and graphing jelly beans and marshmallow bunnies during Thursday's math lesson!

I am looking forward to Earth Day activities. I will be posting pictures throughout the month. Our next IB Planner addresses how consumer products affect our environment. The students will begin an inquiry into "What Going Green" Means and produce many recyclable items.
