April started off with a visit from author and illustrator David Biedrzycki. In anticipation of his visit we read a number of his books and decorated our classroom door to go along with his book Me and My Dragon. The students created their own dragons, named them, and wrote what they would do with their dragon. I love the creativity in this writing activity.
During Mr. Biedrzycki's visit, we learned what it was like to be an author and illustrator. We learned how he started his career and saw some of his earliest writings. It was interesting to see how he does all of his illustrations on his iPad.
This month in science, our unit of study was Protecting Our Earth. The students learned about air, land, and water pollution and how they affect the Earth. They also learned about how we can help the Earth but reducing, reusing, and recycling. We read several books to help us understand what these things mean. The students made posters and did a sorting activity. We concluded our unit by celebrating Earth Day.
We finished April with a lesson about electrical safety. Mr. Gooley from Middleton Light visited our classroom and showed us some of the safety tools the electrical workers use. He also taught us about the importance of staying away from wires and the green electrical boxes we often see around our neighborhood. We learned to never fly a kite near electrical wires and what to do if we are in a car and wires fall on the car. We now know a lot more about keeping safe around electricity. Thank you Mr. Gooley!
