Red Ribbon Week Days 3-5, pumpkins, more place value, and Chick-Fil A

Red Ribbon Week Days 3-5

Wednesday was hat day!

 

Thursday was neon day and Chick Fil A spirit night!

Friday was silly sock day!

 

 

All week we read books and wrote about pumpkins. We made a pumpkin glyph and pumpkin mystery word activity. We also worked on retelling stories. We read Big Pumpkin, Room on Broom and Winnie the Witch to practice retelling. We talked about the "five finger retell" and had a special guest (Winnie) who came and read to us then did a retell on a witches hat.

 

We also continued working on place value. We made a cute candy corn craft that included standard notation, written form, pictorial model, and expanded notation. We also used abaya.com in the computer lab to practice place value.

 

 

Mrs. Hay also had the opportunity to attend a student's cheerleading game on Saturday morning! GOOOO UPWARD!!!!

 

Pumpkins

Last week we measured our pumpkins shortest to tallest, measured how tall, how round, and counted how many seeds were in our pumpkins. We also talked about the word, hypothesis and made our own hypothesis about whether the pumpkin would sink or float in water. Take a look at our pumpkin activities...

We put our pumpkins in order from shortest to tallest.

We practiced the word "float" by standing on our tip toes. 

We practiced the word "sink" by squating down low.

We tested our hypothesis and discovered that the pumpkins (no matter what the size) FLOAT!

 

 

 

We scooped out the pulp and seeds of our pumpkins and counted the seeds (by table group) using a 100s chart
