Penny nickel exchange game

We played the penny nickel exchange game with a partner!

Personal Space

Mr. Newell, our school social worker,  visited our classroom to talk with us about "personal space" in the classroom and on the playground!  We want to be sure that we consider others and their personal space! We had fun practicing good examples, and not so good examples!

Thundercake!

Since we had a weekend storm, we read Thundercake, by Patricia Polacco! As we read the story, we mixed the ingredients together to make our Thundercake. We created our very own rainstorm with thunder to make sure that our cake would rise!

Retelling

Our class is learning the basic retell strategy and they are doing GREAT! Here are a few pictures and sample retellls. So far, we have retold Little Red Hen, Three Little Pigs, and Paper Bag Princess as a class. Enjoy!

Here are the anchor charts when we first learned to retell.

Here are a few students retelling using their story board!  ENJOY!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Geometry

Today we created three dimensional shapes!

The Foot!

We practiced measuring accurately by the foot, with our learning buddies.  We created a foot book where we drew, measured and recorded the number of feet each thing was!

O'Seamus the Leprechaun

I am sure you have heard about our naughty leprechaun, O'Seamus.  He has played pranks on our class all week!  Today, we decided to build traps to catch him.  The class got to chose materials, and talk about their plan of action.  Look at these THOUGHTFUL traps!

Meet O'Seamus

 

 

 

 

Watch how a few kids describe their trap!
