Friday

Happy Constitution Day! :) Did you know that was today?! It was!

We had a wonderful Friday!

*I've been looking for a United States cookie cutter and a Kentucky cookie cutter for some upcoming SS Regions activities. Anyone have one I can borrow?? :)

We began the day with Math Centers. Students were SO GOOD during this time. They transitioned well and kept up with all the expectations for each.  Students worked on addition and subtraction math tiles (these are very challenging!), worked in small groups with me over factors and multiples, worked on adding 4 digit numbers, practiced multiplication facts, and worked on a fun multiples game (you can find that under the Games to the right).

Next, we worked more on our PTA Reflections writing piece and our Memoir.  I pulled conferences during this time as well. The pieces are really coming together!

Students then watched a Constitution video that was pretty cute! They learned all about how the constitution came about.  Then students took their SS Map Test. I'll try and get those graded over the weekend! The ORQ was pretty difficult for the kids, but I think they did a good job on all the M.C.

Students then enjoyed Math Buddies with our friends from Mrs. Watts' second grade. I had a puzzle game for my students to help their buddies with on regrouping the tens and ones place.  My students did a great job teaching! Here are some fun pictures~we enjoyed the cool weather and worked very nicely outside!

Lastly, students worked on a food web open response in teams and then graded each others.  I can't wait to read those and see how the students scored each other. 

We also got our Library in our classroom working a little easier.  The students are doing such a great job checking in and out books during the appropriate times and remembering to take AR tests.  The old way of checking in/out was getting a little messy, so we made a new way! I love how much the kids enjoy reading time!

Have a wonderful weekend!
