Clouds!

This past week we learned about clouds and the different forms they take, then we experimented and did our best to make the same formations (with shaving cream)! 

Apples and Ways to Make a Number

 This week we really focused on all the ways to make numbers up to 9.  I gave the students two sided counters (enough for each number we were working on) and they would lightly toss the counters and and draw  the outcome.  This showed them all the possibilities in making numbers!  They had so much fun and thought it was so neat!

 

We talked a lot about apples this week and read the book- Apple Farmer Annie.  I told the class that we would make applesauce.  I forgot to peel the apples, so it turned out more like baked apples than apple sauce.  Oops!

 

This was the final product.  The kids loved it!  They walked around saying how they were going to ask to make applesauce at home!  I quickly reminded them that our applesauce didn't turn out right and to ask for baked apples instead.  So thankful they enjoyed it though!!

 

We created our own apples to learn all the different parts of the apple.  I thought they turned out so cute!!

 

50th Day of School

We did celebrate 50's Day, 50th day of school, with great fun and actvities.  I forgot my phone that day and so sadly do not have any pictures to post :(  I am working on getting some up though- they are too cute to miss out on!!!

Here are some of the great activites we did for the 50th day of school:

Dressed up in 1950's attire
Bowling
Science fun with RootBeer Floats
Learning some dancing with the Hand-Jive (great for crossing the midline!)
Mock Drive in Movie with car and popcorn
Played with toys from Then (Lincoln Logs) and Now (ipod touches)


They had a great day!!

 

Thanksgiving Fun

Just a little turkey fun to start the week! Turkey sight words & salt stories- they even colored their own salt!

Log Cabin Village and other classroom fun!

We went to Log Cabin Village for a field trip last week. 

This is an old school house- this room was for every grade level!

These were rules for the Teacher and rules for the student!

We dipped our own candles!

Learned how to make clothing from wool and cotton!

Mill




In the classroom we learned how to use cubes to make the same shape as the food pictured.  We then had to write how many cubes and what color cubes were used.


We also made and tasted some butter- here is the chant we used and the final product of the butter!  Everyone loved it!!









These are some of the salt stories they made!  They turned out so cute and they loved making their own color of salt!!
