Reindeer Books

Today we learned lots of facts about reindeer. We did some activities on the SMART Board and watched a short Discovery video before we made reindeer books. Enjoy some pictures of our projects.

Gobble, Gobble, Gobble

Our room is gobbling with Thanksgiving fun! Thanks to Thomas' mom for helping us paint our hands last week to make the tail feathers for our turkeys. Today we finished our projects.

Roll the Dice

We worked very hard on math and phonics assessments today. Then we had some fun in math playing a game. We rolled two dice on the SMART Board and then added the numbers together beginning with the largest number and counting on. We made a graph of the equations according to the answers to see which one would reach the top first. It was lots of fun to practice math today!!

Our Jack-O-Lantern

Thanks so much to Megan's dad for coming to school on Friday and carving a jack-o-lantern with the class. The class really had a great time!! We counted the seeds and found there were 500. We have been reading some spooky Halloween books by the light of the jack-o-lantern. Thanks Mr. Gallagher!!

Jack-o-lanterns and Scaring Pepper

Mrs. Wiseman came on Friday to do a fun experiment with the class. We started with a bowl of water and added some pepper. The class observed that the pepper spread all over the surface of the water. Then they dipped a toothpick in dishwashing liquid and touched it to the water. The pepper was "scared" and all rushed to the sides of the bowl. Lots of oohs and aahs were heard!! Mrs. Wiseman explained that it was because of surface tension.

In the afternoon we had fun making some jack-o-lanterns from paper strips. Some were funny and some were pretty scary!!
