Math
We continued exploring the concept of measurement this week, and students were introduced to a new measuring tool--a tape measure! We spent some time looking at our tape measures, and the students quickly noticed there were different markings and numbers on each side of the tape measure. One side was marked in centimeters and the other side in inches. We practiced opening and carefully closing our tape measures, and then students had some time to measure different objects in our classroom. We shared some of our measuring results which led to some great discussions about the difference between measuring in centimeters and measuring in inches! The students also spent some time using our class number grid to play a "Mystery Number" game in order to help students recognize number patterns and understand how the number grid is organized.
Literacy
Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss! This week we celebrated Dr. Seuss's birthday with many of our favorite Dr. Seuss books and some Seuss themed activities! We focused on the concept of rhyming words, and we learned about several word families including the -at, -an, -it, and -ish families. After reading Green Eggs and Ham, we learned that is okay to try something new. Then the students wrote about a time they tried a new food. We definitely have some adventurous eaters!! The students did some writing this week during Writer's Workshop time, and they also wrote about their favorite Dr. Seuss story. We even made our own "Cat in the Hat" for a craft project this week and created a class bar graph showing which Dr. Seuss books are our favorite!
All About Me
The class loved learning all about Chloe and her favorite things this week! We learned that Chloe loves to ice skate and sing. She likes to read, do crafts, and she is very into fashion. She also enjoys doing archery and spending time with her family and friends, especially her sister.
