Weeks 2 and 3

Hi Families! Here is an update in photos of the last two weeks in our classroom.

The kids unscrambled a very exciting message. :) I wish I had photographed the look of sheer surprise on all of their faces right as they solved it--priceless!

The first years labeled nouns all over the classroom.


The first years are also doing their beginning language work with the "pink series" (short vowel words). 

The third years, working together to lay out the decanomial--a very special material in our classroom. They lay out all of the multiplication arrays from 1x1 to 10x10. It is beautiful when finished.

The (almost) finished decanomial. We call this "stage 2" because are 4 stages total.

The third years are getting re-acquainted with multiplication by doing arrays.

Some first years doing the bead stair stamp.

Sorting nouns into people, places, and things.

Ten board

Working on those addition facts already!

A third year reviewing the division bead board.

Consulting with each other over some multiplication.

Working on spelling.

Creating surveys for a data math project.

Writer's Workshop. We have launched our unit on Personal Narratives.

He isn't smiling for some reason, but was SO proud of himself for building the USA puzzle without the board.

A student-created project idea. Outlining and labeling the states. How cool!

It's been a great and busy few weeks so far. Looking forward to the rest of September. We are certainly on a roll!
