We had a fun culminating activity for our latest math unit. The children were given lots of marshmallows and toothpicks to create wonderful 2D and 3D shapes!
Our children have pen pals from Haddam Elementary! Each student was paired up with at least one other first grader from HES. We are getting to know each other and learning all the similarities we have with each other. This is a picture of the children right after they received their first letter from their pen pals!
In reading we have been practicing being bosses of our reading. Monitoring our reading is extremely important! Working with a partner, to develop this skill has been wonderful to witness!
Have you seen the amazing display that our class created? You can find this in the front of the school! We have been learning about 3D shapes in math. The children brought in various items that represented the shapes that we are learning! Stop by and take a look at our shape museum!
To kick off our opinion writing unit, our class brought in various collections. We shared all of our collections and then decided which was the best item in each collection. We had to give good reasons and try and convince each other that our opinion was right!
