This week we have been learning about the different type of clouds that we can see during the spring! The minions are familiar with the characteristics of 4 different clouds, but have trouble saying some of their names J. We learned that the cirrus cloud likes to stretch out and dance in the wind. The cumulus cloud likes to change shapes, likes the sun, and looks like cotton balls. The stratus cloud is really low, likes to bring the fog, and is the lowest cloud. Mr. CN (cumulonimbus) likes to bring the storm. They have really enjoyed learning about the clouds and comparing and contrasting them.
We also created our very own greenhouse! Our little mini-greenhouses is giving the students the chance to learn what a seeds need to grow, as well as how a seed grows!

This past week the minions have learned about several different inventors. We decided that we too could be inventors. After discussing the importance of first creating a blue print, the minions got the chance to work within their table group to invent anything they wanted using the recycled goods we collected from our helpful parents! First, they had to decide what they wanted to create. Next, they had to create their blueprint and decide which part each team member would be responsible for. Then, they had to the resource table to gather the materials they needed. Finally, they were able to create the image they had drawn as their blueprint. Each table group did an excellent job at working together, and the product looked very much like the blueprint! |
