Sometimes I Like.....

This week we made a book about what we like. Miss. Bontrager read the book "Sometimes I like" by Vicki Churchill. Then we brainstormed things that we sometimes like to do! We drafted our sentences and then revised to make juicy details. After we were done with those steps we went back and edited to check for errors. When we completed the writing we began to make our books for publication. We plan on reading our books to our kindergarten book buddies. Do you have book buddies? Would you be interested in making a book! We hope you have a fabulous weekend! 

Love,

Miss Bontrager's Class

Frogs

This week we are learning about African Dwarf frogs. We had to build a habitat with water, rocks, and Eldea. We have noticed they eat funny. They shove their food quickly into their mouth using their arms. it is really neat that they turn the color of their surroundings. We would like to know if Mrs. Braymer's class are studying frogs in science? If so, have you noticed anything interesting that the frogs do?

4 Regions of Texas

Do you know what the 4 regions of Texas are? We have been studying the Coastal Plains Region all week! Since we have the coastal region it has been very fitting due to the current weather conditions. We have focused a lot on hurricane Ike. It will strike Galveston and Houston around midnight tonight. We learned how dangerous hurricanes can be. The hurricane is affecting the ports in Houston, which will cause oil and gas prices to go UP! We are all a little nervous about the devastating damage that this storm may cause. How do you guys feel about the hurricane? Do you have family in that area that has had to evacuate? Miss Bontrager's family had to evacuate last night. They may not be able to go home for several weeks, due to power outages. Her mom is a 4th grade teacher in the Houston area. They have not had school the past 2 days and may not for a couple of weeks! How would y'all feel about not having school because of bad weather? We look forward to hearing back from you!

Happy Friday!
