Happy Fall!

These past few weeks have been very rainy and our plants did not grow. Next time, we will have to keep it inside and watch the weather more often.
We are not on Maps and Globes and have learned a fun continent song.

In math we are learning about place value and comparing and ordering numbers. We have a lot of content to cover.

Watch us sing the continent song!

Fruit Puppet Plays

Last week, we worked in groups to create plays about fruit. We created a background and decorated fruit on popsicle sticks. Here we are:

Blooming Botanists

Studying plants has been great. We all know the different parts of a plant and their jobs. We are now moving on to flowers and the different parts.

Last week we planted marjoram, melon, lima beans, cherry, apple and orange seeds in a cup and placed them outside in the sun, but we had a rainy week so they may have some issues growing.

This is what they look like. We are very excited.

Crystal

WOW!

We had TWO GREAT days back at school! It was great to learn about one another and have MORE fun getting to know each other with the jelly beans activity! We have lots of athletes and scientists in our class!!

the girls!

the boys!

Next week we will have homework. In our homework folders is a list of spelling activities that you can do each night. The goal is to try to get 50 spelling points by Friday. Homework is expected to get done each night and turned in Friday morning. There will also be math sheets and a reading log to complete.

We will begin reviewing second grade math with adding and subtracting two and three digit numbers. In Science, we will start with plants and seeds. So please BRING IN ANY TYPES OF SEEDS YOU MAY HAVE after eating that apple or orange :-)

Reading will start with sequencing and discussing details of a story and writing will start with sentence and paragraph structure. I am so EXCITED! WE ARE SO EXCITED!


Here are some photos from the jelly bean dichotomy! We had to use the dichotomy key to figure out the different flavors of jelly beans! It was soo fun and even better to taste them! :-)

This is Jack

We created Jack as an intro to avatars. Hopefully we can all create one of our own.
