Let it snow!

Our busy week.........

The students applied to be one of Santa's reindeer.

We finished our rock unit. At the end of the unit the students got to create a pet rock!

 We used our scale to see how much the rocked weighed.
 The students learned about the different ways your can categorize rocks: shape, size and color.
 We read lots of Laura Numeroff's books. If you give a..... Then we created our own version.
 




 In English we studied verbs. On Friday we played verb charades (hilarous) then the students had to create an Action Hero.

 We had some helpers in our room from Tech. They helped us create our math book!
Here are just a couple pages from our book.


This week we will not have any assessments. Friday is our Christmas party! There is not a reading story or spelling words this week!
