What a fun day! We dressed up as Community Helpers and then the fun began. We read with our 4th grade buddy readers and took them candy to share from our stash! We drew pumpkins and estimated the number of seeds. Mrs. Scott, myself and the children put all of those seeds in piles of 5s and 10s and counted! We discovered that each pumpkin held between 400 and 600 seeds. It was easy to tell why we count large amounts by 5s and 10s!!! Then, we drew what we would be for Halloween and sorted by Fiction and Nonfiction. Snack was delicious thanks to Mrs. Stukes, Mrs. Waters, and Mrs. Wilson! After lunch, we presented our Community Helper Books. Great job class!!! We also observed a chemical reaction of baking soda and vinegar inside our newly carved jack-o-lantern! We sorted all the candy that was brought in and made addition equations!
Learning can be so much fun. I can't do it without you parents! I hope you know how much I appreciate all you do!
Mrs. Hyder this sounds like an exciting day in first grade! I was glad to hear that you are counting bigger numbers by 5's and 10's. That can be tricky but much quicker than counting by 1's. Keep up the great work.
