Sea Creature Picture Problems

We spent a lot of time before vacation reading and solving addition and subtraction problems about ocean animals. We then wrote and illustrated our very own picture problems about sharks, whales, and seals. Please visit the link below to view the online book that we created with our hard work!

100th Day of School!

It is hard to believe that we have been in school for 100+ days! It seems like just yesterday that 17 small and anxious children were walking into my classroom door. They have all grown to be such amazing students! Please enjoy this slideshow of their 100th day projects.

It's Been a While....

My apologies for not adding to the blog recently. We have been SOOOO busy in Room 8! I have lots of great photos to add from recent units and activities, and now that I have a free minute or two, I thought I would share them with you! The first video is some photos from our recent science unit on matter. We explored liquids and solids and the differences between the two. Ultimately, children had to be able to classify an object as a liquid or a solid correctly and describe some characteristics of each of these things. The students did a wonderful job and had some hands-on fun with this unit!
