Worm Gets A Job
Life of an Earthworm

Song of the Week
Think I'll Go Eat Worms
Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,
Guess I'll go eat worms,
Long, thin, slimy ones; Short, fat, juicy ones,
Itsy, bitsy, fuzzy wuzzy worms.
Down goes the first one, down goes the second one,
Oh how they wiggle and squirm.
Up comes the first one, up comes the second one,
Oh how they wiggle and squirm.

Now working with a seven colour minimum, we kept adding to our portfolios, writing our words and using our sound out strategies.
Life of a Worm
Our art project for the week was creating "habitats" for worms, using pink pipe cleaners, paper scraps, mini pom-poms and glue. We had to make sure our worm had a place to crawl through and that it had enough food.
Sight Word Beyblade
We added as, an, are, I and a to our sight word list and "did battle" with them in our Beyblade arena, charting which sight word we read the most.
? + ? = 5 and 5 = ? + ?
5 became the focus of our math this week, as we used rocks, coloured paper clips and bear counters to create math sentences, putting enough items in each circle to make five in total, and practicing using terms like "plus" and "equals".
Other Things We Did
We met our class worms, the red wrigglers! We'll be keeping these worms in the class for a few weeks, feeding them vegetable scraps, before setting them loose in our garden once the weather improves.
We talked about finding good books to find facts, noting how Worm Gets A Job is a fiction book and probably not good for teaching us about how worms really live, while Life of an Earthworm is non-fiction and uses pictures, realistic drawings and key terms to teach us about worms. We then decided what was realistic in Ned's New House (birds like to eat worms, worms eat fruit) and what was not realistic (worms having houses with doors, worms baking apple pies, worms getting dressed up like birds)
Math terms like "plus" and "equal" were introduced, as we tried to make 5 in as many different ways as we could. It was a part of our daily math question and made its way into Mr. McCullough's Message.
"That's Not A Number" became a game we'd play in the class. Mr. McCullough would write big numbers, letters and symbols on the board and we had to decide what was a number and what wasn't a number. Then we practiced our number 5 and had a Number 5 Dance Party after!
"OI!" We learned a new letter-combination sound!!!
For Earth Hour on Friday, we talked about where electricity comes from, why saving it is important, and how it can help the planet. We then had Earth Hour, doing part of our centres and visiting the library in the dark!!!
