Artists at Work

We made snowmen today!  We used pencils, sharpies, and watercolors to create our snowmen.  They will be out on our bulletin board, if you would like to check them out!

Number Writing

We practiced writing numbers from 1 to 120 this morning.  We used fun paper to record the numbers on!

Reading Log

Good Morning!
There will be no reading log this week.  The reason there is no reading log this week is because I was out yesterday for science committee and because Monday was a snow day!

Game Time!

It was a great celebration this morning.  Kids were kind and had so much fun!  A great way to start our day!

Rainbow Writing and Snowflake Fun!

We practiced reading and writing our Word Wall words by writing them in rainbow colors!  This a fun way to practice sight words at home!

We celebrated meeting our classroom "paws" points goal by creating snowflakes for our classroom windows. We have been focusing on being kind to others. When we started putting them on the window it started to snow outside!

Game Celebration!

We will be having a whole school "paws" points celebration on Friday.  Each class will be playing games in their classrooms for the first 30 minutes of school.  Students are invited to bring in their favorite board game to play with the class!

Science!

We started our first science unit this week about force and motion.  We went for a force and motion walk yesterday.  We have also watched some video clips and read a book about force and motion.  As a class, we came up with definitions for force and motion.  Here are the video clips if you want to check them out:

Bill Nye!

Ok Go!

Publishing in Action

We have been working on publishing our persuasive writing pieces.  Students revised and edited their writing using checklists.  Today they worked on coloring in their illustrations.  Tomorrow we will make covers for the books.

Kindness!

We are trying to catch people being kind in our classroom and recognizing their kindness by recording the act on a kindness paper and hanging it on our Wall of Kindness.

Duck or Rabbit? You Decide!

We read the book Duck! Rabbit!  Students then had to decide which animal they saw and support it with reasons from the book.  They also got to cut out and decorate their own Duck or Rabbit to support their thinking.  Check out all their hard work on our bulletin board!

Our Finished Green Screen Project!

Fire Truck, Tie Dye, and I Can Statements!

The firefighters came to visit and teach us about their gear, the fire truck, and fire safety.

 We had so much fun tie dying, and the shirts came out so great!  Don't forget to wash them separately.

 

We also wrote "I Can" reading statements.  Students chose and wrote a reading strategy that they thought they were really good at from our Word Detectives unit.  They are hanging in the hallway, so check them out!
