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!!!

Earth Day work!

Thanks for continuing to rock mystery readers!

 

 

Since Earth Day is Saturday we read a book about how we can help save the Earth and had a group conversation.  Then everyone got to write how they wanted to save the Earth.  They then had a chance to present their work to their friends :) .  They've become great confident presenters this year!

Telling time bump!

We've had lots of fun working on time this week!  We played a bump game where we got to move all around the classroom identifying if the time on the card matched the time written.  They LOVED all the action and every time "bump" was called out they thought it was hysterical that they got to move to another seat.  Overall this was an exciting and fun way to practice telling time!

 

Animal LIfe Cycles...

We had a terrific Tuesday!  We reviewed how to write the time.  We discussed where the hour and minutes go around the colon.  Then we practiced writing the time our practice clock said it was!

 

 

 

We also continued learning about animals today.  Everyone got in groups and made their own life cycles of the animal they chose!  They are hanging in the hallway for everyone to enjoy.  We did chickens, snakes, butterflies, turtles, flamingos, and a few others!  They did a FANTASTIC job and I'm very proud of all the effort they put forth to make sure it was level 5 wow work :).  Please take a second at some point to come see what they did.

 

Working on Telling Time...

To start our Monday out with some fun we decided to be a bit crafty in a mathematical way :).  Everyone had an opportunity to make their own clock.  Once they were done we got to use them to play a "what time is it" game!  The clocks they made work (moving hands) so once they decided what time their friends clock said they set their clock to the same time.  It was great practice and we all had a great time.
