We have had some interesting experiments!

Last few days before our holiday break!

The students made their own interpretation of the snowman plate for their own parent gift for the holidays.
We turned ourselves into elves and filled out an elf application.
Our super scientist did a great job painting with shaving cream.
To top the day off we had a great party!

Field Trip

What a great time & so much fun!

Super Scientist & Star...

This week we had goo & a cute book! I think I have forgotten to post some in the past... Sorry!

Happy Thanksgiving!

What a wonderful surprise all of this! My class & I are so blessed & thankful for everyone!!

More Thanksgiving crafts!

Awesome Turkeys!

We hid a turkey & made fact family turkeys!

Our family project & words to know

I am so excited to see the things we are thankful for. It is so neat to see what they came up with too.

I have added a picture of our words for the week.

Reader's Theater!

We worked on these all last week and did so well we performed them for other classrooms as well.  The class had so much fun with them!  I am excited to do them again!

What sweet treats!

Some fiends made treats for the class.  They put a lot of work into it and they turned out great!  Thank you for thinking of the class and making such cute treats- We loved them!!

Our Neighborhood

This week we are learning all about neighborhoods and communities.  We built our own town and tried to remember everything in it! They did build our school, but I am not sure where the picture for that is.  I was so proud of their creativity, teamwork, and just being focused and getting the job done.  They were proud of their own efforts too!  It was a lot of hard work, but they did it!!

Fuzzy's and the Library- notice the flag on top!

Every town has a bank!

A view of the town.

City Market

View on the street and buildings.

Young Chefs Academy- so cute!

Airport with plans parked on top.

Sorry it is upside down- not sure how to change that.  This is Olive Garden.

Love the way they used paper to construct this building!

A dog park- so thoughtful!

WHAT A GREAT DAY!

We had a crazy fun day today!!  First up was Pumpkin Fun!!


These are some of the yummy treats we tasted.  The students wrote in their journal what they liked and didn't like.



This is the pumpkin planting station.

Our First Field Trip of First Grade- what fun!

The yummy bread and butter that we got to make- delicious!!

The last of the pet Rocks...

This is a rock house on the left and on the right a friend made a rock house and car to match- so cute!

This is the inside of the rock houses- check out the curtains in the house on the left!!  The house on the right has a bed and a frog costume for their rock- so clever!

This is a rock they used tissue and stickers to help bundle it up and kept it warm!


This is our bulletin board with our rock stories- they really got into their imagination and wrote some great stories about their rock.  I was so proud of them!! 

Dirt & Worms

To finish our study on rocks & soil we made our own. Ask your child what all the different things represent.

Super Scientist & Super Star

Ocean in a bottle & a favorite book!

Pet Rocks

We painted our pet rocks today & wrote a story about them. They turned out so cute!

Music to my ears...

Outside at recess one friend says to another, "I know the perfect place to read!"

I love it!

Super Scientist Day!

We had fun learning about mixing colors from our Super Scientist!

World Teacher Day

Who knew? It was a nice surprise!

Fun with Math

I took some pictures of math activities we are doing this week!  Ask your child about them!




This is a ten frame match game.  They have to match the ten frame to the number to the wording.  So on the ten frame showing 6, they have to find the #6, then they have to find the wording - 1 more than 5.
So far they have been challenged, but like this game!



This is a picture of friends making different kinds of patterns.  This is a review, but so many friends just want to make ABAB patterns, I thought they needed the push to make a variety of patterns.





This is a greater than or less than roll the dice game.



This is another five/ten frame activity.  For this they have to roll the dice then say (depending on what frame they are working on) "I have _____.  I need _____ more to get to 5/10."




For this activity I have a lot of dice with the numbers up to 20 on them.  The student must roll the dice then order them from least to greatest and then write their numbers on the sheet. 


I hope you have enjoyed your little peek in what we have been doing for math this week!
