Lego tub

This week we were lucky enough to have our name drawn for the lego tub. We spent some time this week building lego creations and they are now in the trophy case in the main hallway of the school. Heres a sneak peak of the awesome creations we made!














Baby Chicks

On Monday we will hopefully have 12 new additions to our classroom! We should have 12 baby chicks hatching! The students are all so excited to be working on this and they are also working on writing a persuasive writing paragraph over why they should be allowed to take care of a chick. They have to research and describe some facts about the life cycle of a chicken, whats inside the egg, and how to care for a baby chicken. I am excited to see how their writing turns out!

Math

This week we are continuing to work with fractions. We have been making some cool fraction strip books and have been working noticing fractions of sets of objects as well!  Next week we will look at equivalent fractions and fractions on a number line! 

Hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoys the sun!
