Fantastic First week of school 2017-2018!

Happy First Week of School!

 

We've had an amazing time getting to know one another, becoming a united class, and learning all about Campus School. 

 

To help introduce ourselves to others at Campus School as well as our class we worked on All About Me pages for our booth!  Everyone got to answer, illustrate, and computer questions about themselves to be displayed for everyone to read.

 

 

 

We were also sent on a scavenger hunt around school by Chester from the book The Kissing Hand!  He had us going all around the school finding different locations and helping us learn where lots of people and places are in our daily environment.  In the end he left us some kisses!

 

We then of course had some birthday fun on Friday!!!

3D shape hunt!

With our study of 3D shapes we took the opportunity to walk around the school and hunt for some in our own environment!  Everyone got a clipboard and created a tally chart to keep track of how many of each shape we found.  We found lots of cubes, cylinders, rectangular prisms, and spheres.  Cubes were the hardest shape to find but between the office and Mrs. Ardrey letting us come explore her room and we found some for our tally charts! 

 

 

Magnetic hunt!

We went on a magnetism hunt!  There are LOTS of awesome items around our room and we had the opportunity to hunt around and see what was and wasn't magnetic.  They were very adventurous and tried things under the tables, in other items, and even found that some items were part magnetic and part non magnetic.  They had a great time and got to do some hands on exploration. 

 

After we were done we drew pictures of one item that was and one item that was not magnetic.  With that we made a chart for our classroom :).  Feel free to come see it!

 

Becoming a united class!

To help learn about our school and were everything is located Chester the Raccoon sent us on a scavenger hunt around the school to try to catch him!  We located many different rooms around the school and began to feel more comfortable with our new surroundings.  Chester left us some kisses at the end so that he will always be in our heart!

 

 

We also read a book called We Share Everything by Robert Munsch.  In the book the kids struggle with sharing at school and the teacher keeps telling them that they share everything in school.  At the end the kids take this concept to heart and even begin sharing their clothes! 

 

As a class we talked about some things at school we should share with our friends as well as a few things that we should not.  First as a class everyone illustrated and wrote the word for an item that they felt we should share at school.  Then independently they worked on cutting and sorting things they should and should not share.

 

 

 

 

Since we are unable to go outside (we can't go out if it's above 95 degrees) we've been jiving to gonoodle using our Smartboard!  They've LOVED it and are fantastic at helping pick out their favorite songs to share with their friends.  Please make sure your child is wearing shoes everyday that they are comfortable for them to play on the playground in.
