Gilbert Gas’s Balloon

We had a lot of fun this past week reading about Gilbert Gas and his adventures in Quirklesville.  When we got done reading and  the story we tried out the experiment at the end of the book about carbon dioxide gas.  It was a really neat experiment.  Watch the video and then maybe you and your child might like to give it a try.


  

Turkey Lurkey

We had fun working on identifying the number of syllables in our name with the poem, Turkey Lurkey.  Click on a picture to take you to the website to view our talking turkeys.  Ask your child to show you how to clap, snap and tap to find out how many syllables are in their names.

Click on each picture to maximize it so you can get a better look our graphs on “How many syllables in your name?”  We graphed each child’s name after listening to each talking turkey .

Susie Sound

Susie Sound

We meet the Quirkle Susie Sound. In the book Susie Sound taught her friends about sound and a valuable lesson on friendship in a story that emphasized the consonant S.  The children found out what happened when Spotty Spider and Sarah Seal tell secrets about Sizzly Snake.  They saw great illustrations that demonstrated the way sound travels. They tried two hands on experiments and had a lot of fun learning about sound.

Turkey Ties

The turkey ties turned out great!  They made a great display in our hallway.  The children loved showing off their families to everyone.  We are in the process of making  classroom books from the turkey ties.  The children love to read our classroom books.
