End of the Year Slide Show
A year's worth of learning... only 8 school days left...
The Color Farm
Last week, we learned about farm animals. We read the book The Color Farm by Lois Ehlert. Then we made our own version in the computer lab using the program Pixie.
The Tiny Seed
This week, we are learning about plants and growing things. We read The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle. Then we wrote our own stories about seeds.
Finding Length
We have been learning about length. We worked in pairs to measure the length of objects around the room. We used links to measure the objects and then we recorded our measurements on paper.
We measured each other using links, inchworms, and people counters. Then we drew pictures of ourselves and recorded the measurements.

Earth Day

We played a recycling game. We sang a song as we pretended to recycle items. The bean bags were cans and the hula hoop was the recycling bin.
In honor of Earth Day, some of the first grade teachers set up a school-wide book swap. Students were able to bring in books from home that they had already read and trade them with other students. What a great way to reuse books!
Animal Characteristics
We have been learning about animals and their characteristics. A blogging friend shared this idea with me, so we tried it out in our classroom.
We watched an interactive power point on animals and their characteristics. We learned about animal body parts and animal coverings. Then we played odd man out. Students took turns looking at 3 animal cards in the pocket chart. Then they chose which animal was not like the others and pulled it out and explained why.
After the game, we chose animals and labeled their body parts. Then we shared them with each other.

The Chicks Arrive!
Last Thursday night, 4 of our baby chicks hatched. This week, we learned about animal characteristics, animal coverings, and animal needs.

Learning about Area
We have been learning about area. We drew rectangles and squares. Then we used color tiles to find the area of our shapes.
We mixed brownies and then poured the batter into a pan. We cooked the brownies and then cut them to find the area of the pan. We figured the area of the pan by the number of brownies in it. The area of our pan was 20 brownies.
