Body Shapes

This week in math we have been focusing on the different attributes of shapes - the size, colors, thickness, and names of each shapes. They love watching how the shapes can rotate, grow, and/or change on our SMART Board. We decided to take over the dome to see if we move the tables around in our rooms so we could work as teams to create shapes with our bodies! The students did a wonderful job and really showed they understood the basic qualities of each shape. Only the leader could talk to guide the students to they had to use first time listening ears and work as a team to create the shape. Then they had to hold that shape until they were checked off!

Escape to Wonderland!

We were lucky enough to have the MSU theatre department come on Tuesday afternoon and put on a play for us! It was called "Escape to Wonderland." It was based around the story of Alice in Wonderland, but it talked about friendship, making good decisions and consequences. The kids really got into the show and they were clapping, laughing and even hiding the teapot from the Mad Hatter! 

Here are a few snapshots from the show!

Ecology Bus

Every year we are lucky enough to have the ecology bus come to our school to help us learn more about the animals that we have been learning in our reading and science units! They discuss different animal habitats, families, and what different animals need to survive. The students are always amazed at what they bring in and what they have to share! Here are a few snapshots from our day!
