Our students are working hard for their class performance. We can't wait to impress our luncheon guest! 😊

Watching Pow Wow

Our new friends to Chets and  those who may have missed the first half of their Kindergarten year, got to experience Kindergarten Pow Wow today. 

1st grade was invited to watch the opening ceremony to the Kindergarten Pow Wow. 

From our students that got to participate in it last year to those that have never seen it before, it was an amazing experience to watch. With a bit of cold in the air mixed with the smoke of the Tribe Game fire, the morning was beautiful and the kindergarten classes did a great job. 👍

 

Forces and Change in Motion

Our class has started it's study on Force and Motion! 

We conducted a lab that involved rolling several different balls on the hallway tile. Can your student explain to you what is going on?

Make sure you're asking your student about what science labs we are doing in the classroom.

Stay tuned to find out what our science workshop is doing with this new unit! 

Some of our essential questions for this unit are: How do objects start to move? How can we change an object's motion? and What is the difference between push and pull?

Fall Math Fun

Taking a break from finishing off our first math module, the class did a fun fall math practice. We used several elements from Module 1 to show what we know.

Our activity:

1. Students made sure to write their name on their paper.

2. Students were given a bag of foam stickers and asked to create a math problem. 

3. Students used the information from their math problem to complete a number bond.

4. Students completed several number sentences. We provided 4 different ways to show addition number sentences and 2 ways to show subtraction number sentences.

5. Students were challenged to show their thinking using a number path. Using two different colored crayons, they showed how they can count up and count back to solve an equation.

6. Students stuck the foam stickers to their worksheet. 

The students did a great job creating their own math problems and competing the number bonds and sentences. We are continuing to work on using the number path to count up and back. 

Check out these fun fall practice sheets while they hanging in the hallway in front of our classroom. 😊

Veterans Day 11/11/15

Our school was closed today in honor of the Veterans Day holiday. 

Yesterday, we spent the morning learning about Veterans Day and why the day is important.

We read the book America's White Table

 

A story about a family honoring service members fallen, missing, or held captive in the line of duty. 

We learn about Veterans Day by researching through nonfiction books and the Internet (history.com)

- Veterans Day originated on Nov. 11, 1919 the first anniversary of the end of World War I.

- Veterans Day was first named Armistice Day.

- Veterans Day pays tribute to all American veterans-living or dead-but especially giving thanks to living veterans who served their country honorably during war or peacetime.

Students made Thank You cards for Veterans in our local community :)

THANK YOU to all of the brave men and women who have served and continue to serve our country. 

We hope everyone had a great Veterans Day.
