Groundhog Day!

Look at us on National Red Wear Day!

We also celebrated Groundhog Day!

Our Groundhog cupcake.  Yum!

Will the groundhog see his shadow?  

Most of us thought that he would not see his shadow.  Spring is almost here!

We read the cutest little story about a groundhog who has a bad cold the day before Groundhog Day and is looking for a substitute.  We made help wanted posters to help him out.  

We enjoyed the First Grade Snowman Parade.  

Let it Snow!

Here are a few of our winter centers:  

Painting with Marshmallows.  

Roll, count, find popcorn word and write. 

Don't Break the Ice

Working with medial sounds.  

Crack the code.

Measuring with snowflakes. 

We read about how people survive in colder climates.  

We made an Eskimo and reviewed the short vowel sound of /e/. 

 We have been learning about solids, liquids and gases.  

Visit back so you can see our experiments with matter!

We read Sneezy the Snowman and wrote about what snowmen shouldn't do!

While it was snowing outside our window, we had another snowball fight inside.  This time, our snowballs had a sight word on it.  The children had to read their sight word.  

Who said we needed snow to make a snowman?  We made our own snowman!

We wrote the steps on how to build a snowman using the words first, next, then, and last.   

We estimated snowballs.  

Martin Luther King Jr.

We were so happy to see each other after such a long break.  

We love playing I have....Who has....?

We read a book about Martin Luther King Jr. and wrote about what we learned. 

We learned that that Martin Luther King Jr. wanted everyone to be treated fairly.  

We had fun with m&ms.  We read The M&M Counting Book and shared our m&ms equally with a friend. 

Addition and Subtraction

We have been working hard on our addition and subtraction skills.  Each day we had a whole group lesson and then practiced our skills in centers.  

How many do I have behind my back? 

Bump!  

One more than...

How many did I have behind my back? 

We practiced writing a subtraction sentence using a ten frame.  

Make a match...Make 10 with ten frames.  

Roll a Sum!

How many pom poms are out of the circle?  How many are in the circle?
