Trash or Recycling?

To end our study of trash, recycling, and taking care of the Earth, we brought recycling from home and sorted it into metal, plastic, cardboard, glass, and paper. Then we sorted pictures of garbage in to trash and recycling piles.

 

Elves and the Shoemaker

We read Elves and the Shoemaker and I sorted the students shoes and they told me my sorting rule. Then the students sorted pictures of shoes and I went around a guessed their sorting rule.

Fiction/Nonfiction

We read many books last week about community helpers. On Friday we sorted the books by fiction and non-fiction.

Flip Flop Math!

To end our celebration of letter F, we wore flip flops to school on Friday. We sorted our flip flops by is/has and is/has not. We used on of our sorts to create a graph. Finally, we analyzed our graph. One graph was made by each class.

Umbrella Math

On Umbrella Day, we used our umbrellas to sort, make patterns, order form largest to smallest and made a graph patterned after our poem of the week.

Dr. Suess Hat Day!

We started our Dr. Seuss week this week. Today we had Hat day. We read The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins. To review and identify nouns, we made a tree map of people, places and things from the book. Then, I had the students illustrate one of the nouns from the story. I thought they did I great job and this activity kept their attention better since this is one of Dr. Seuss longer books.

For Math today we enjoyed reading One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish and using rainbow goldfish to sort count and add the colors together.

Shapes!

We learned about 2-D shapes this past week and did some great activities that made learning about shapes more fun. The shape sort came from April Larremore and the First it was... then is was came from Kinder by Kim.
