3S News Report by Natalie and Cassidy

Natalie and Cassidy's Babies

We are getting ready for the cookout.  It’s REALLY soon!  It’s next Wednesday on May 20th.  To get ready we are making plays, sewing our babies, beading headbands, we are learning songs and dances, and so much more!

We are turning pourquoi tales into plays.  A pourquoi tale is a story about how something came to be.  Alexa’s group is doing How the Birds got their Feathers, Jessica’s group is doing Turtle Makes War on Man, and Marilyn’s group is doing How the Chipmunk got their Stripes.  We have been working on writing our scripts.  When we are done, we will practice performing them.  It’s really fun working with everybody.

In Social Studies we finished Lightfoot and we are going to read a new book called Mary Jemison.  We’ve also been working on our mammal study.  Cassidy is studying the coyote and she learned that pups don’t open their eyes until they are 8-10 days old.  Natalie is studying the Canada Lynx and she learned that the Lynx’s fur changes color in the summer and the winter.  Natalie went to the Queens Zoo to see a Lynx and it wasn’t their! What a bummer!  She saw a black bear, a coyote, pumas, and other animals.
