Wrapping up January-- "ROCKing" out and learning about area and perimeter

This week we learned about natural and man-made resources. We put on our jackets, bared the wind, and went outside to search for things that were natural or man-made resources around Summitt. We recorded our ideas in our science journals.

 We did a fun activity early in the week. If we had a lot of rocks, we would build…

-a hotel

-a house

-a pool

-a Pokemon temple

-a school

A playground

These are just some of the pictures the kids created. Come by our classroom and check them out!

Look at our cute rocks we made.

 “Rocks can be…”

-dirty

-small

-big

-rough

-smooth

-bumpy

These will be our new sight words. We will be working on the “TH” and “NH” blends. I decided not to give the kids a sound check on our last words because these past two weeks have been very hectic and we didn’t get to spend a lot of time in class to study the words so I didn’t think it was fair to test the kids on them.

 Our New Years costumes finally came in!!! Luckily, all the outfits fit the kids. No alterations needed! Only TWO more weeks until we perform for the school and the community. This upcoming Tuesday, we will be doing a dress rehearsal.

 In math, we worked on finding perimeter and area. We also created our Valentine’s bags. I know it’s a little early but these upcoming two weeks will be very hectic so I wanted to get them done and checked off the list of to-do’s. I will be sending home more Valentine’s information this upcoming week.
