How Big is Texas?

While learning about our state, TEXAS,

we talked about how big it is.

We used a poster size map of the United States and counted how many pennies it took to fill in the state.  Then we saw how many pennies it took to fill in other states.

Texas Symbols

We have been reading and learning about Texas Symbols.  Here is a video we made about the Texas Symbols.

Field Trip Spring 2015

The Students had an awesome time at the Dallas Zoo.

Thank you to all the parents who sent me in pictures.

I loved listening to all their stories on Friday. 

Enjoy these highlights of the day.

 

 

3D Shapes

In math this week we are learning about 3D Shapes, what they look like, what their parts are and where we find them in the world.

The students loved these blow up shapes and working in groups to explore.



Seeds, Seeds, Seeds

This week we started a plant unit.

We began by talking about seeds.

 

We dressed Samantha up like a seed. 

We learned all the things she would

need to be a seed that can grow.

We gave her a raincoat and a hat to protect her,

water and a granola bar for food to help her grow.

 

 

We soaked lima beans and then took them

apart and discovered all their parts.

 

Finally we planted the lima beans in dirt.

 

We gave them water and then waited for them to grow.

To be continued.

 

We also explored different kinds of seeds and then played a game to determine what they would grow into, watermelon, pansies, carrots, squash etc. 

Leprrechaun Fun

We had a very tricky Leprechaun come visit us this week.

 



 

He left us clues all around the school so we could try to catch him.

All the clues lead us back to the classroom where we found he had left us chocolate coins.

 

We worked on our graphing skills using Lucky Charms.

 The students did a great job and had fun doing it.

K Kind of a Big Deal
