50th Day, Scarecrows and Lunch in the Classroom

Last week we celebrated the 50th day of school!! Check out our cool 50s outfits. We listened to 50s music and did a few 50th day activities. We are halfway to 100!

We also read the Little Scarecrow Boy and Who Took the Farmer's Hat. We discussed the beginning, middle and end of the story and wrote about scarecrows.

We also filled our marble jar last week and our reward was lunch in the classroom. We had so much fun! Breakfast AND lunch in the classroom in the same day:)

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!!!!

 

Red Ribbon Week Day 1 & 2 and door decorating

So far Red Ribbon Week is off to a great start!

Monday was CRAZY hair day! Check out our crazy hair.

Tuesday was pajama day! Check out our pajamas....every student came in their pajamas!! We even had matching pajamas! We made a serious picture and silly picture because we were at school in our pajamas!!!!!!!!!

Our door for the Red Ribbon door decorating contest is "Our future is too bright to do drugs" and students are wearing GIANT sunglasses. It turned out very cute!

Check back later for pictures from Day 3, 4, and 5 of Red Ribbon Week.

Skip Counting and Place Value

Last week we skip counted by 2s using our shoes and skip counted by 10s using the handprint wings of the bats. Check out the video below!

We've been working on place value in math. We used concrete manipulatives and moved to pictorial models. We are also working on representing the number in standard form (23), written form (twenty-three) and expanded notation (20+3=23). Students are also responsible for putting the numbers in order from greatest to least and least to greatest. Check out a few pictures from the classroom.
