announcements and cooperation

Today the announcements were in our classroom. We talked about yesterday when we played a game with dots.Nobody knew what color their dot was. We had to get in a group with the same color dots. We cooperated by pointing and using signals to direct people to the right group.  By Ella & Jack

Secrets of Droon Picture Vote

We did a vote on who's picture would go on the wall. The picture has to be based on the book we read for read aloud. How we voted is Mrs.Mathes picked out five pictures and we narrowed it down by voting two by two until we only had one left. Then that picture will go on the wall. Me era'is picture won. We read The Secrets of Droon #1 it is really good.  I recommend for you to read it. It is about three kids that discover a world under Eric's house. When they go yo he world they meet four people.  Their names are princess Keeah, Gallen, Lord Sparr, and a spider troll named Max.  Read the book to find out if they can defeat evil Lord Sparr.--Katrina

Pop Rock Writing

We  did 5 senses about pop rocks on Wednesday. These are some words we used to describe eating Pop Rocks:  sweet, popping, colorful, rattling, sticky and sizzle. We also did similes about Pop Rocks. We said they exploded in our mouths like a bomb, storm, hail, machine gun, dynamite and bacon sizzling. I hope you had fun learning about Pop Rocks! -- Anna & Krista

Bird Beak Time

On  September 24th  we learned how certain bird beaks help the bird to survive and get food. We used tools to get food like one of the things we tried to get rice from clay. The clay was shaped like a log and the rice were pretend insects. We used tweezers,spoons,staple removers to get the rice. We discovered the tweezers worked the best.  We did 6 more kinds of activities.  These pictures show some other tools we used as bird beaks. ---by Harper

Camouflage

    

Yesterday we finished our camouflage animals. Camouflage is an adaptation some animals have to hide from predators or to help them catch food. We had options of a lizard,snake,or butterfly to try to camouflage. We also got to pick our own backround. After that, we had to try to color and match the same exact colors to try to camouflage them. It was kind of hard,because not all of the colors matched the backround. Some of the pictures are not that camouflaged,but some you can't even see the animal such as that flower one and the polka dotted one. It took a lot of work!!!!!

Hearts

UU

Friday we showed our hearts in our writing journals.  Our hearts will give us ideas to inspire us about stuff to write about.Also in our hearts we put stuff and fun fact about us. We made these to also help us become a better writer!

Habitats

We are learning about habitats.Ms.Mathes is teaching us how animals survive.

These are 4 things a animal needs.Food,Air,Water and Shelter.

This book taught us how all the animals bond in the same habitat.Like when

beavers build dams.  Sometimes floods damage their dams, but It builds a perfect home for Turtles and other water animals.  Habitats make good homes for animals.

Rounding

 

Step 1 you look at the hundreds place and decide what two 100s your number is in between. 

Step 2: you look at tens place.  If it's 5 or more let it soar 4 or less let it rest. Rounding is really easy if you follow these steps.
