We used salt dough to make molds of the world. Next
we painted each continent a different color. Last we painted the ocean
blue. Next year we hope to make
U.S. Maps and World Maps.
We love math and literacy workstations!
Most of the workstations I have in my room have been purchased from
Lakeshore Learning.
Election 2008: Favorite 1st Lady Cookie
Halloween 2008: We graphed M&Ms, measured
with Candy Corn, created and wrote about a Jack o'lantern, had Mrs.
Mintz show us some very cool experiments, painted with marshmallows, and
had a treat.
Water/Matter Investigations: We investigated what
objects sink and float, we also investigated what materials mix/won't
mix and dissolve/won't dissolve in water.
Christmas 2008: This year we had a full week of school
before break. We explored stations, made ornaments, made
Cookies in a Jar, made Gingerbread Houses, had Polar Express
Day, and a wonderful Winter Luncheon.
Inauguration Day: We watched the Inauguration of our First African
American President and we made a timeline of his life. Mrs. Berryman's
Class joined us for this historic viewing.
Ancient Civilization Celebration: We enjoyed Chinese Food,
made Egyptian Collars and played with Chinese Tangrams.
The Science Place: We had an in-school field trip from the
Science Place Called Weather Wonders.
Valentine's Day: We graphed Conversation Hearts in math.
Mrs. Mintz taught us about symmetry by helping us created
Heart Hats. We exchanged Valentine's and took pictures with
our Valentine's Box Projects.
Cat in the Hat: I photographed all (minus two who were out
sick) the students as Cat in the Hat to kick of Read Across America
Week. Activities have been postponed due to snow.
