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.

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.

3-Dimensional Solids

We have been learning about 3-dimensional solids. We did several activities to learn about the attributes of each of the solids and where we can find them in the real world.
We worked in groups to sort pictures of solids in the real world. Then we made a circle map for each solid.



We experimented with 3-dimensional solids to see which ones rolled, which ones slid, and which ones did both.






We read the book Jack the Builder by Stuart J. Murphy. Then we worked in groups to make rockets out of 3-dimensional solids. When we finished we counted the number of each solid that we used.

Symmetry

As part of our study on fractions, we learned about symmetry.

Life Cycle Patterns

This week, we talked about patterns. We looked at patterns in animal life cycles.

We used Pixie to create pictures for the life cycle of the chicken and the frog. We put the pictures in a flow map to show the way the animals grow and change.




We read the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar and made butterfly life cycles on paper plates.

The Week of March 21st

We have been very busy learning about animals and getting ready for open house. There have been lots of great things going on in our room. The most exciting news is that we are trying to hatch baby chicks.

Eating Fractions

We read the book Eating Fractions and then we used sliced cheese to learn about half and whole. We made our own class book Eating Fractions.

Go Away Big Green Monster

We read the book Go Away Big Green Monster and made a monster glyph.

The color of the monster = favorite color
The number of hairs = how old you are
The color of your ears
Blue = you do not like scary movies
Green = you do like scary movies
The color of your mouth
red = you like Go Away Big Green Monster the best
pink = you like There is a Nightmare in My Closet the best
