During our Tech Talk with Ms. Miller we learned about vitural realiry using the Quiver App! Here the 3D augmented reality took our coloring to the next level- bringing the picture to life! Check out this free app over winter break! Print off the free coloring pages- use markers, crayons, or even color pencils to color in your pages! Then scan the page using the app! And experience the app! The kiddos abosoultly loved it! During indoor recess the next day they created even more!

Being an Event Planner in Math!

12/24/2016

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!

Measuring Distance! 

12/2/2016

  • 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!

Launch of New writing Unit

12/2/2016

0 Comments

 
This week in class we had  the chance to BRAINSTORM many ideas as an informational writer! We had to think back to when we were all in Kindergarten last year. We remembered when we wrote HOW TO books! We also remembered how we had to know a lot about our topics because we each were an expert on it!

We listed many of our ideas: all about riding a bike, or walking a dog, or caring for a kitten! We also reviewed the importance of how to teach our reader how to do just that! 

Check back in next week for some more news!
