It’s been a busy first full week back. We’ve been very busy getting for our play, Interplanetary Jammin’ next Thursday night 3/22 at 5:30.
We took a day off from play practice on Tuesday to learn about needs and wants from our friends at Merchant’s Bank here in Colchester. The children learned the difference between a need and a want and also explored some other banking terms. We were able to complete crossword puzzles and play a money game. This is a sneak preview to our next Colchester Unit, Civics in Actions.
It was back to work on Wednesday researching our the planets our aliens came from. Thursday and Friday were spent typing up our summaries and putting them up on the website we are building. As you know, our aliens arrived on Friday in many different forms: Model Magic, marker, crayon, styrofoam, legos, recycled materials, marshmallows, family pet pictures re-made and more. Look for our 3-D aliens to be on display at our play next Thursday.
Next week, we’ll be writing a fictional narratives about our aliens!
