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,

SS/Science/Health

In Social Studies we are discussing maps and states.  Science has started a new unit on weather.  They are learning about the different types.  In Health they are busy talking about emotions.

Measurement~

We have been working on Measurement this unit in math and we started the unit by talking about taller and shorter.  So we lined ourselves up in order from tallest to shortest WITHOUT talking.  It was a lot of fun to see how we could communicate without using our voices!

Enjoy!

Map Makers!

We also spent some time in Social Studies discussing maps.  We each then took some time to create a map of our house or of our bedrooms.  It was a lot of fun to show these around and try to figure out where things were in our homes!

Santa's Little Helpers are out!~

Last Friday we spent some of our morning working on making a reindeer to hang in the hallway.  These are always a favorite.  Hope you get a chance to come and check them out!
