BINGO!

We had a blast in our last day with a living BINGO board:

Despite how full that board was, it wasn't a winner. :( 

But this one was....

Tie dying in Art

Many thanks to the PTA for their generous donation of tie dye supplies, and all the parents who came to help. The students loved the process and are excited to see the finished product!

What does 162 look like?

As part of our morning calendar routine last week I asked students to work together to show 162 (our day on school) as a group. Each group used a different tool and did a great job representing one group of 100, 6 groups of 10 and 2 ones.

Planting seeds

Yesterday (and today) we planted our seeds to watch as they sprout and grow. Some chose to plan sunflower seeds, while others chose pumpkin. Both are fairly fast to sprout and begin hoeing and the students are excited to see their seeds change and grow.

After planting the seeds, students began making observations in the plant journals. Some were disappointed that the seeds hadn't begin growing overnight!

We will keep you posted on the progress of our plants' growth!

Race to 40

This week students have been practicing a new math game called "Race to 40" to practice regrouping for addition. They are doing awesome!

Come by Wednesday night from 5:30-7:30 to play with your student and learn how to play this and other games at home this summer. There will also be some writing projects on display and the students love to show off their reading skills in our classroom library! Looking forward to seeing you there.
