Science: Rocks

We spent a week exploring rocks. Students weighed, measures, and tested to see if they were magnetic or if they could float.

Science: Geology ROCKS!

We are starting a unit called Geology ROCKS. We combined two classes in the Science Lab for a fun experiment. Students used different sized sifters to separate rocks by size. This hands-on activity was a lot of fun for all involved!

 

Math: Telling Time

We have been working on telling time to the hour and half hour. The class has done a great job with the Judy clocks, but it is even trickier to draw the hands on a clock. After a group lesson review, students partnered up to practice quizzing each other. It is always great to take a step back and observe their mathematical thinking and vocabulary skills in action.

Valentine's Day

We had a very fun and sweet Valentine's Day party! Students ate some flavored popcorn, played a heart walk game, read a cute book, and solved tricky puzzles. Thank you to our wonderful Room Mom for getting our party organized  and hosting all of the fun!

Math-Fact Families

 Today we practiced making fact families with partners. Students were given 3 numbers and they had to place the equation signs in the correct places. This was a quick and easy activity that helped them remember fact families. I just love the teamwork that we have in our classroom!
