SNOW DAY!

What did you do during your day off? Let us know on Kid Blog! Class updates- we have finished our nonfiction text feature study. To end the unit we made our own books using a time for kids to fit each example. We will be beginning an ELA MCAS unit.

In science we are finishing with Newtons 3 laws. To demonstrate the third law, we made newton mobiles and needed to figure out how we could make the "motor" work. We learned that if we wanted the car to move forward we needed to twist the rubber band in the opposite direction....action=reaction. 

Great job with your cereal boxes! I have loved reading them and learning so much! We had our own cereal box museum where we went around to visit each nonfiction book report. A grading rubric will be sent home soon. 

The Doorbell Rang

Today in math we read the Doorbell Rang and saw how cookies could be shared equally between children. Using our own "cookies" we explored the concept of division and creating equal groups. Fr example. Ms. Dipesa has 12 cookies. There are 4 children at the table. How many cookies does each child get?

6 table

This week we are learning the six table. Every week we have been using School House Rock to help us study. The more you watch, the more the facts will be stuck in your head!
