Math

Here are some of our math centers from this week:

Counting out big collections of objects and recording our answers

Using pattern blocks to make space collages

"Penny's Pockets"- combinations to 8

Caterpillar combinations to 10

Practicing our teen numbers!

Space!

We are having so much fun learning about space and the moon!

We worked in pairs to find a picture of the solar system and draw, label, and paint our own!

Sylvester's dad is an astronomer! He came in to teach us about the moon. We loved having our questions answered by an expert!

We took pictures from books of things we were wondering about and wrote questions on Educreations.

Who am I? Space edition! 

Find the Alien! We hide the alien under a sight word and our group has to guess which word he is under! 

At penmanship we are practicing our lowercase letters and drawing space pictures.

Look what Jack and Annie have been up to!
