On Friday, Table 1 earned their tenth and final mark on our Terrific Table Graph, putting them at the top first! Their self-control and integrity really stood out the past few weeks, earning them the prize! Enjoy your Jelly Bellies!
This morning, the students wandered around the room searching for their new seats in class. They were all SO excited to sit next to some new friends. We are eager to see how these new groups work together and which table wins the race this time.
We researched on the iPads in Social Studies last week...TWICE!
We have really been digging into learning about our culture, and what better way than to do some real-life research! We worked in partners to find out about American symbols such as the bald eagle, flag, and Statue of Liberty. Then, we researched our national holidays and told the class about them. The kiddos LOVE working on the iPads every chance they can get. If you have tablets at home, please encourage them to bring them to school- they are such a great learning tool.
4th Quarter means new math centers!
A brand new quarter brings brand new math centers. Some of our new centers include measuring with traditional and nontraditional units, geometry, problem solving, graphing and plotting points, and working with money. We have been practicing self-control during centers and increasing our stamina so that we can work the whole time and not get distracted. Our 2nd unit of money is coming to a close, and we are focusing our attention this week on making change up to a dollar. We found that it is usually easiest to count up from the price of something to find the change we need, instead of trying to do subtraction in our heads. We are learning both ways though, so that we can use the method that works best for each situation.
Class Dojo
Our Class Dojo monster points are adding up quickly! When the whole class gets to 20 points, we get to have a party! Don't forget to check the points at home and give your kiddo praise when they have a great day :o)
