Thanksgiving and Popcorn Estimation

  What a fun morning!  We estimated how much popcorn was in each bowl by grouping 1/2 of  popcorn in groups of 10 and doubling the number to find how much!  Then, we estimated how many would fit on the length of a turkey feather.  We made popcorn turkeys and had a wonderful morning!  Special cookies and crafts tomorrow.  Please read through the thankful thoughts your child has had for the month and have a blessed holiday! 

Fact and Opinion

This week we discussed Fact and Opinion. We played a game entitled, "Would You Rather".  The boys played against the girls and they had to make a choice and support it with reasons! They did a great, great job!
We also had fun making noun posters and discussing the pilgrims and their "voyage" ( word for the week).  We discussed about what might have happened had they not veered North but landed near Virginia, where they originally wanted to go!  We also graphed about whether or not we would want to travel on the Mayflower and we supported our "whys and why nots" with good reasons! 
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!   Wait...I hear sleigh bells?!

Community Helpers Culminating Project

We became Community Helpers during November and as our "Caring Cactus" project, we made posters and persuaded 2nd grade to join in collecting those gently used books for our 4K Home Libraries.  We collected 260 books that we sorted by fiction and nonfiction, divded by 40 students, bagged and delivered!  Great graphing and lots of math today! 

Voting

Today we practiced the democratic process of voting for our favorite
cookie!  Oreos win grade wide!
