Awesome Artists

 

Three of our students, Toby, Evelyn and Grace, were chosen for artist of the week.  Their work is hanging in the hallway.  I am proud of all my wonderful artists in room 30!

 

Math Unit 3: Solving Story Problems

So far in math we have been working to show many combinations of a given number.  The students worked together to play, How Many Am I Hiding?  The two workshop games consisted of students hiding cubes behind their backs/hiding counters under a cup so their partners could determine the missing piece.

 The girls working together.

Pilgrim Party

We learned all about the Pilgrims and their new home in Plymouth, Massachusetts.  We obviously HAD to wear the hats and get ourselves into character.  The students had a lot of funJ

 

 

Scholastic News had a great vitual tour and informational site that the students loved, you can check it out at home!

Thankful Turkeys

We read, Thanks for Thanksgiving, and brainstormed what we are thankful for.  The students wrote what they were thankful for on the turkey feathers.  Then they assembled their festive turkeys.

Toby: writing down what he is thankful for.



What terrific turkeys!



Mayflower Mayhem

Reading groups learned all about the Pilgrim's voyage on the Mayflower.  We discovered that there were two different groups aboard the ship, the Pilgrims and the "Strangers".  They worked together to form the Mayflower Compact, making laws and rules to live by in the New World.

Their trip was difficult and long, but the Pilgrims were determined.

 

 

 



Adventures with Trekker

Caroline took Trekker to gymnastics.  They also spent time coloring! 

 Trekker went fishing with James and his Dad.  They caught a lot of fish!

Grace and Trekker spent the weekend with Grace's Mom, Dad and sister.

Asking and Telling Turkeys

After reading a non-fiction text about Turkeys, we then spent our grammar lesson determining if a sentence needed a question mark or a period.
