During the month of February, our Kindergarten/First Grade Multi-age Theme Groups were busy learning about different animal groups and how animals are classified. The "Frogs" spent their time with me, while "Turtles" learned with Ms. G. (You'll have to ask your Kindergartner which group they are in) Below are some pictures of both Kindergartners and 1st Graders that worked in my room researching and recording characteristics that each animal group has and drawing pictures of animals that belong to each group to create their own animal book.
Monday was our last day working on classifying animals. Today, we started our new theme: Dinosaurs! The children learned about Paleontologists who study dinosaurs and then they got to practice carefully extracting "fossils" (chocolate chips) from their cookies using "tools" (toothpicks and paintbrushes) just like a Paleontologist would do when recovering fossils that have been buried for thousands of years!
I think Ashley certainly has the skills and patience for the job!
