This week we continued learning about time! We have been discussing what an hour is- and a half hour! We made connections about what lasts about an hour or a half hour, too! On Thursday we worked in small groups and planned a Holiday party! We had some guidelines we had to follow! First every team had to factor in 30 minutes at the end of the party to clean up! Also, we wouldn't be able to do all the activities on the list! We encountered some obstacles but with perseverance we were able to overcome those barriers!

Tonight was such a special event! We sang Holiday songs, shared warmth and cheer, and lit up the Holiday Tree right in front of our wonderful school! It was such a very wonderful community event and I loved being part of it!!!

Thank you for celebrating!!!

Today we ended our first round of enrichment clusters! Next week we will be having a school wide assembly celebrating our invested time and learning! We can't wait until round 2!!!

Take a peek of some of us in Artist Academy!

• I can discuss how to measure length by using craft sticks, baby steps, and basketball player steps.

• I will measure various lengths with kid steps and compare

them.

• I can have a discussion that focuses on my measurements of different distances and which distances are greater than others.

These were just some of our learning targets this week during math! We have been measuring lengths of different lines throughout our classroom. We made a conenction to how surveyors do this in real life! We compared the distance of these lines using 3 different units of measurement, and created addtion and subtraction number sentences! Take a look at some of our live tweets to see us in action!

This week we have been learning about how to read with EXPRESSION! Like a news reporter! Here is a small video clip of some of us in action!
