Contractions, Soil, Prepositions

In math we studied even and odd numbers. The students were given a number and had to create a house using the right amount.

 Contraction Surgery- My students turned into doctors and cut a part two words and made it into one.

 The students were paired up. One as Odd Todd and the other Even Steven. They rolled the dice if they rolled an even and they were Steven they got to move up. First one to the top won!

Science: Investigating soil- The student rotated to different five stations and investigated them. 

 This was by far the class favorite of the week. We played musical chairs with patterns. The students would create a pattern, when the music came on the students would walk around, when the music stopped they had to find a seat and add to that pattern.

 ELAR: We studied prepositions- The kids danced to the preposition song. Preposition Dance- Click to see the song, you'll start dancing!
