Place Value Blocks

To help us learn addition with regrouping, we used place value blocks. Each child had to use the blocks to add problems such as; 153 + 159. Once they figured out the correct answer they had to practice their regrouping skill with the blocks.

Last week, Kidstuff from Oakbrook Church, came to do a program on individuality. Be the first person to tell me what you learned and you will get a prize!

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs Projects!

Look at all the wonderful creativity! I must say, I was amazed at all of the amazing projects. I am so proud of you! Who would have thought you could make so much fun stuff with healthy food. Who said learning can't be fun?

Delicious Healthy Snacks!

To go along with our Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs unit, we were learning about nutrition in health. Each student brought in a healthy snack to share. As we were eating out treats, we discussed nutrition and the food pyramid.

Tornado Time!

To go along with our Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs unit we made tornado's! Each student had a water bottle that was filled with water, vinegar, and soap. While we were making the tornado's we learned about measurement along with how tornado's look.

Play-Doh Economics!

In social studies, we played with Play-Doh! Each student made their very own product that they had to sell at my store. They then had to use their vocabulary words that we had learned from the book to discuss their project. Some of the vocabulary words that we used were: opportunity cost, import, export, , supply,demand, scarcity, income, profit, budget, and employee. Ask your child if they had fun, and see if they can still use their vocabulary words! Learning is fun in our room!

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs!

While I read the story, Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs, each student had to visualize what they thought the pictures looked like. We then shared our pictures with the class and realized that we all had different ideas. We had some really cool pictures!

In reading, we gathered in groups and read.

First day of school!
