Harold and the Purple Crayon

After reading Harold and the Purple Crayon, we decided to use our imaginations just like Harold!  We used purple crayons to tell our imaginary stories.  Enjoy the pictures!

 

 

 

Math Workshop

We practiced measuring in inches!

We make sure we begin at the zero mark and then find the closest inch?

We learned how to make symmetrical shapes using pattern blocks and mirrors!

Fun free time!

As we are winding down with our year, we couldn't pass up the beautiful weather outside. Enjoy picture from our afternoon with our stuffies in the sun!!

And more projects!

Sea Creature Projects

We researched our creatures and asked questions. We used a title, drawings, close ups, labels and captions to synthesize our learning!

We are Researchers!

We are preparing our sea creatures for our posters!

Arrrg! It's Pirtate Day!

Today we launched our Oceans Unit with Pirate Day! We even learned why pirates wear eye patches... Can you guess why?  Enjoy our pictures from our day.

We introduced a new word wall word and put them on our pirate hats

We watched a Pirate Adding song on YouTube.  You can find the link here.

  And went on a treasure hunt-- we found number sentences and had to record their sum on our treasure map!

 

Mr. Guy read us How I Became a Pirate by David Shannon. He speaks pirate!

 

We even made a KWL chart.  Why do YOU think pirates wore eye patches?

A surprise

Look what I found in our incubator this morning...

Measurement

We practiced measuring with rulers and measuring tapes using inches.  We discussed why we use one method over the other!
