Getting our graphing on!

We've been working hard on learning all about graphs.  Graphs are a great way to visualize data and make numbers a more visual concept.  They've loved surveying their friends, asking questions, and then taking the tally marks and turning them in to graphs.  Today we split in two groups and asked all the friends in the group what their favorite treat was from a list of three treats.  This activity had an added challenge which was to work together in your group and make sure everyone in the group had the same data!  Once all 10 friends in each group were surveyed the data could then be transposed to graph.  Everyone had a great time and did a great job of working together as a united group.

 

Taking inspiration from our field trip!

Our story for the week was Jack and the Wolf so we had fun doing some Readers Theater and acting it out!  We were very inspired by the Junie B. performance and wanted to see if we could act out a story like they did.  Everyone got to pick their roles and then while we read the story the actors and actresses played their roles!  I have to say we may have a few performers in our classroom :). 

 

 

Field Trip FUN!!!



We started our Friday morning with Carolyn's mother being our Mystery reader!  We LOVE mystery readers :).

 

 

Then we were field trip bound!  I'm not sure so many words are needed but let's just say Campus School 1st grade LOVED Junie B!

Santa Claus work!

We had some fun with the letters that make up the words Santa Claus!

 

Each table team got to take turns to make words using the letters.  The only rules were they had to be real words and they couldn't be Santa of Claus!  Each table did a great job and had so much fun with this literacy task!

 

Turkey Fun!!!

Thanks so much to Laura Hill and all of her Thanksgiving party helpers!  We had a great time making Thankful Turkeys and eating turkey nachos for lunch...yum yum!!!

 

 

We ran out of time to play one of our party games but we changed it a bit and used the pieces as our review game for subjects and predicates :)

Happy Birthday Carolyn!

We had some fun with new math games!  We worked in cooperative groups and worked together!

 

 

Then of course we had some birthday fun!

 

Happy Birthday Carolyn!
