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 .

Challenge! How many syllables in cornucopia? Ask your child to tap out the number of syllables in that Thanksgiving word.

Susie Sound

Leave a reply

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.

Density Dan

Meet the Quirkle Density Dan. Density Dan shows his friends, Dipsy Dog and Danny Duck, how salt water is denser than fresh water in a story written predominately in words that begin with the letter D. After completing the story we tried the science experiments outlined in the back of the book. The students discovered that all water is not the same and that some liquids do not mix!

Homemade Butter

Leave a reply

Butter begins with a Bb and we made some in school this past week. The children really enjoyed making it, spreading it on their bread, and eating it! Some of the children asked me for the recipe and I told them I would put it on the blog so here it is. Click on the picture to enlarge it. Have your child show you how we made it.

Letter B

I played this video for the children this past week. Up on our big mimio board the video appeared very blurry. I told the children that I would put it on the web site so that they could watch it at home and maybe it wouldn’t be so blurry. Have your child post a response in the comment box. If the video was blurry have your child type YES in the comment box. If the video wasn’t blurry have your child type in NO in the comment box.

Hey, blurry starts with the letter B! The children were getting good at identifying letter Bb words this past week.

We read this book back a few weeks ago and the children are still talking about it. I had the children graph whether they liked or disliked the book. Click on a graph to make it bigger to read. Have your child interput the data with you.
