We have started a new math unit about collecting, representing, and analyzing data.  We started by thinking about the question: would you rather be an eagle of a whale?  Students had to represent the data we collected in their own way.

Students also brainstormed their own question with a buddy and collected data from the whole class.  They used that data to create a representation that they shared with the class.  They also analyzed the data they collected.

Students played First Grade Yahtzee to work on their Additon fact fluency.

We wrote our New Years Wishes to go with our dolls that we created before vacation.  The wish had to be something about school.  Come check them out in our classroom!

I'm Social Studies, we brainstormed important places in Jericho.  We used that information to create a class book about Jericho.  Students worked in pairs to write, draw, and paint about a specific place in Jericho.

In word study, we are working on four new sounds.  These sounds are ink, ank, onk, and unk.
