We learned a little about whales this morning!
First, we learned that whales are either Baleen or Toothed.
We sorted our whales into their correct category.
Then we learned a little bit about each.
Did you know that Baleen Whales eat tiny little plankton?

| like this? |
Let me show you HOW they eat…
We learned about parts of a whale, including blubber!
We (of course) had to do the blubber experiment.
We covered one of our hands in Crisco and dipped both in ice water.
…and counted to 5.
The girls loved it so much they did it like 5 times :)
My printer was out of ink (go figure) so I drew an orca on the board to label.
The girls helped me label the parts they remembered.
All done!
Charlotte drew a whale and wrote a sentence (near the word wall)
while Adelyn did her reading lesson.
"Whales have blowholes. When they come out of the water they blow water and air."
Sometimes phonetic spelling is easy to read. Other times… ;)
The girls decided to play with some word study stuff!
After nap time, Charlotte continued with her reading rods.
We love word-play!
