Snowshoeing!

The kids went snowshoeing in PE today. So much fun!

ZAP!

On Tuesday, we learned a new game in word study...ZAP! The kids are loving this game and it's another way we are practicing our "snap" words.

 To play the kids choose a stick out of the cup. Each stick has a "snap" word written on it or the word ZAP! If they can read the word they can keep the stick. If they cannot read the word it goes back into the cup for more practice. If they pull out a stick and it says "ZAP!" all of that players sticks must go back into the cup! They seriously love this game!


Our "Snap" words...

Here we are playing the game!

10 Bears on a bus...

In math today we did an activity called 10 Bears on a Bus. With this activity we were working on finding combinations of 10 using a 10 frame. The kids flipped over a number card indicating how many yellow bears were on the bus. They then needed to figure out how many red bears could fit on the bus. The kids used double sided counters to fill in a larger ten frame and recorded their work on smaller 10 frames using crayons.

Happy Friday

Yesterday at recess many students were eating the snow even after many conversations about how dirty the snow is, especially here at school! I decided it was time for our class to do a science experiment. I had the kids put the snow chunks they were eating into a container.

Here are our findings!

We also went up to the track for recess today to mix things up a bit. The kids had a ball! 

In math we did some stations. Cup towers are always a hit! 

Enjoy the weekend! 

Playing Catch up...

....Once Again.... Happy New Year!
