Elizabeth Built a Pyramid!

During a home-school activity, we asked the students to find 3D shapes at home. Elizabeth couldn't find a pyramid, so she worked with her family to make one. Good job, Elizabeth!

Maps in Action!

In Social Studies, are current unit is called "Where in the World Are We?" This unit focuses on maps, models, identifying our location on the planet, etc. We had a chance to practice using a map when we returned from recess and realized our Open Court puppet, Leo the Lion, was missing! We found a map so we decided to follow it to see if it would lead us to Leo. Boy were we surprised to find that Coach Brennan had stolen him! :)

Chicka Chicka...Yum Yum!!!!

Last week we did a unit surrounding "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" by Bill Martin, Jr. Each day, we focused on a different standard (letter identification, rhyming, etc.). By Friday, we were ready for something special - so we created our own edible Chicka trees! Please check out the link below for a slide show of our Chicka Trees! Please leave a comment below sharing your child's favorite activity from our Chicka unit!

Building Shapes!!!

As one of the final lessons in our shape unit, the students used toothpicks and marshmallows to build two- and three-dimensional shapes! Thank you again to all of the parents/guardians who sent in supplies for our activities last week - we couldn't have as much fun or learn as much as we do without each of you! Please click the link below for a slide show of the shapes created!
