Hey Everybody,
Wow!..what a week! We started back to school on Monday and then the Artic cold came swooping down into the south! Brrr we were delayed for two days and then back on track with three days of solid rain!! We made it through all in one piece. We were busy, busy all week. I’m going to share some photo highlights from our week!
We made instant snow and talked about chemical reactions and change.
Everyone loved the instant snow. We thought snow was just the best since Mother Nature didn’t share the real thing this time!
The kinders have been learning about non-standard measurement. (K.MD.1) I love teaching measurement. There are so many possibilities.
We measured a lot of different things with different units!
I like using Kim Sutton’s Do the Math measurement activities. We used cubes as our standard of measurement in this activity.
You can learn more about Kim Sutton and Do the Math here. There are also some free handouts if you sign to get email.
We played Clifford’s Measurement game from PBSkids.org on the mimio. This math game has practice for many different attributes.
You can view the game here.
We brushed up on our Daily 5 Skills. We needed practice with Read to Someone. I love seeing the kids during Read to Someone!
Our class has one of the big bulletin boards in the hallway this month. We are using the book Snowmen at Night for inspiration! The children drew their snowmen on black construction paper. They has to press really hard. They did a great job! They also helped to stamp the snowflakes on the background. The first graders will add their snowmen soon.
Snowmen at Night Bulletin Board
We still have more snowmen to add!
I hope you enjoyed getting a peak into our busy week. The first graders are working on a close reading activity that I will share in the next photo highlights edition from Kindergarten and First Grade!
All the best,
Sarah
