Picture Perfect

Look at these cuties for picture day. They sure do clean up nice!

Finished Projects and Division

Look at these awesome ecosystem projects!  Students had to choose an ecosystem and make a poster with living things found in that ecosystem. They had to include a food chain as well and describe an adaptation of an animal found there. 

We also looked at a new strategy in math using repeated subtraction to help us solve division problems. 

Fact Familes

Today we started our multiplication unit with a focus on fact families. Keep reviewing those facts!

Shaw Nature Reserve

We had a great day at the Shaw Nature Reserve for our first field trip!  We participated in a Wet and Wild activity learning about a water ecosystem and went on an earth walk. It was a fun day!

Revising and Reviewing

The authors in this class were working hard today revising their stories!  We used a checklist to help us stay focused.   We also had an intense game of math baseball to get ready for tomorrow's chapter 2 math test. 

Debating Books

Today we started to practice debating books.  We used a book that we all had in common and practiced debating an issue students had different views on. They did such a great job and brought in a lot of evidence from the text. 

Buddy Time!

Today we met with our first grade buddies from Mrs. Boyd's room. We had a lesson about being proactive vs. reactive.  We had the example of a soda bottle and a water bottle. We shook up both bottles and talked about how the soda can be like a reactive reaction- it explodes!  We ended with a fun buddy brain break!
