We finished up our 5 Little Monkeys theme with our last story, 5 Little Monkeys with Nothing to Do. Sasha pointed out some inconsistencies in the stories to us (Why do they have bunk beds in some books, and one big bed in others??) and we sequenced and summarized the story. Our social studies unit of "working together" ended with some graphing about our favorite kind of spread to put on bread (I don't quite get it either...). The kids were able to go around and ask other teachers and friends the question so we could have some additional data. Strawberry jam for the win!!
In October we will be reading the "I know an Old Lady" books and doing a science unit about the scientific process. We will do some (hopefully) fun science experiments on Fridays throughout the month of October.
