Math Fun

On Tuesday mornings, we have Math Groups where children focus on different skills. Children played a game called "Bulls Eye" where 5 paper clips are tossed towards different targets and can score in the 100's, 10's, or 1's. Students add up their scores on a data sheet…and are adding very large numbers!

1st & 2nd Grade Concert

April 9th at 6:00pm

Mark your calendars!

The Iditarod!

You may have heard of the "last great race on earth" from your second grader! We are studying the Iditarod race which takes place every year on the first Saturday in March. Through our study of the Iditarod, we are learning about Alaska's landscape, weather, and geography. We are all tracking a musher as we follow the race on the website Iditarod.com. The children are so excited to see each checkpoint their musher and dogs have reached, we can even tell when our musher and dogs are taking a well-needed break! 

As part of this unit of study, Mrs. Magida organized an amazing experience for our students. We had a sled dog team visit our school! We learned many interesting facts about sled dogs and had the opportunity to pet siberian huskies, pull a sled and ride in a sled as well! So fun!!!

What's the "Matter" Mr. Snowman?

Our science investigation into "matter" inspired our writing and art as we tried to convince "Mr. Snowman" that melting wasn't such a bad thing after all, since he is made of water! His state of matter is only changing based on temperature! 

Valentines Math

We estimated, counted, sorted, tallied, added, and graphed our way through math on Valentines Day!

Happy 100th Day!

Thank you for your snack donations- delicious! 

Throughout our morning, we challenged ourselves to see what we could do in 100 seconds. We predicted how many times we could write our name in 100 seconds, sing the ABC's, clap, count to 10, stand and sit, etc! Then we recorded our actual times; the children were surprised how long 100 seconds lasted!!

What would you do with $100? Here are some of our writing responses:
