It's been a while...

Time has gotten away from us and a new blog post is long overdue. Im going to include several pictures of activities that we've done over the past few months. Hope you enjoy!

Pretzel sticks and Cheerios to reinforce our understanding of place value. Everything's better with a little snack.!

Playing "War" to compare numbers. Greatest number wins!

Valentine Party

Friendship interviews

The boys and girls really enjoyed learning about Abraham Lincoln and the story behind why he grew a beard. 

Partner Plays

Today, the students were put in partners and given short plays to read and practice. They were so excited and had so much fun reading their parts!  We are practicing using expression and understanding feelings of characters. 

Exploring magnets

The children had a great time rotating through magnet stations today!

Veterans Day Program

Our class would like to say "Thank you" to Veterans. We appreciate the sacrifices you have made for us and our country. 

So glad that we were able to have some special Veterans here for our program today. 

Fall Party

The kids had a great time at our Fall Party yesterday. Thank you to the moms who were able to help and to everyone who sent treats and goodie bags!

Patterns

We are learning about patterns this week. In kinder, your child learned about using colors and shapes to make patterns. In 1st Grade, we explore new ways to make patterns, such as the way an object faces, growing patterns (which we call additive patterns), number patterns, and more!  It's so much fun to see the children realize that patterns are so much more than just colors and shapes!
