This week in math we are studying Addition and Subtraction. On Friday the students came in and got a new name for the day. They were all a double math equation, the name tag would say 3+3 and other students would call him/her six. It amazed me how fast they picked it up and how much fun they had!

 Reviewing time on the iPad!

I wiped my old iPhone and added educational apps. Mikey is listening to a story during A.R time.

New Center- Building sight words out of clay.

 To spice Phonics up we pull 'fun sticks,' This stick said 'Cowboy.'  Students have to turn their chairs around, lasso, and pull in the word g-o-e-s!

 In Science we are studying the seasons of the year. Cami helped me demonstrate how seasons change depending on the amount of sunlight we get.

 Sight Word Walk- Students have to say the sight word when they line up.

This week ELAR looks like this.

In Science we are continuing our study on the Seasons of the year. In Math we are practicing addition and subtraction in story problems. Please continue to help out with our class service project. Bring items to donate to Women's Protective Services.Spelling Contract 14 Let's Go to the Moon!

From our class

Today we talked today about Martin Luther King and his dream. The students shared how they could make the world a better place, no matter how young they are. 

We studied -ake word families. We made snakes on a cake. Students wrote -ake words on their snake.

 I found a interesting site over the break. You type in your message and it pulls up actual buildings all over the word to spell your message. We did it with our site words. Geogreeting

 In science we studied clouds. We read Little Cloud by Eric Carle. Students held up parts of the story as we read. 

 I found some new math apps that are perfect for my students. Students also use my old iPhone to listen to stories and use apps. 

This is birthday weekend! Happy birthday Isiarius, Makenzie, and Austen!
