Here is one group using pattern blocks during math to make patterns and designs. We were exploring our math manipulatives.
Here is one student playing with our math dominoes during FREE TIME. When the class is being exceptionally amazing, I put up letters on the board to spell FREE TIME. When they get all of the letters, we have free time, and they earned it already! Some students played legos, others played with dolls or colored, and others played with hot wheels cars. (If you are ever going to give any good free time toys to the thrift store, consider donating them to our classroom instead.)
Two students making shapes on the geoboards.
The base 10 blocks are a definite favorite.
More geoboards.
Another student revealing her About Me Bag.
We also planted seeds this week as well as made terrariums. Our first unit in science is all about living organisms: life cycles, survival needs, classification, etc. This unit is a lot of fun. Please plan to come to our room to see more on October 7.
Our Walk to Read program is ready for volunteers. Some have already started and more will be starting next week, but if you are available to volunteer, please contact me. We would LOVE to have you read with kids. Also, if you are available in the next few weeks for some simple (although boring) administrative tasks in the next couple weeks, let me know. I have quite a few things that need to be filed, cut out, torn out, or stapled. We will also be hoping to have a few chaperones for our Sept. 28 trip to the Bozeman Ponds. Thank you!!!
Your kids are amazing!! Thank you for the privilege of working with them.
