Math

We have been super busy in our math this month of December!  We just finished up our Chapter 6 on Measurement.  We spent the last few days before break reviewing a numbers to 30.  Our chapter on measurement was a lot of fun and the students did excellent on it.  We were able to play some games about taller/shorter, using a balance to weight objects in our room, and even working on capacity.  We will be ready for the new unit in January!

Math

We have been very busy starting our new unit on Measurement.  We have been measuring all sorts of things with cubes and paper clips.  We also spent some time this week working on capacity.  They are really doing a nice job in this area.  Keep working at home!

Reading

We are continuing our work in our Daily 5 routine.  The students have really made some tremendous improvements in their work on writing.  They write in a journal daily.  We are really working on making nice sentences.

The Holiday Season is in our classroom!

We have been very busy preparing for the holiday season.  In our classroom we each created our own stockings to hang on the "fireplace" and are hoping that Santa makes a stop in our classroom. 

 Next we spent a lot of time creating some one of a kind "reindeer" to hang in our hallway.  It has been so much fun!  Hope you enjoy looking at these photos!
