STEM Activity - The kids had to figure out what shape (circle, triangle, square) tower would hold the most books. Did the color matter?
Composting - An activity new this year is composting our lunches. Mrs. Steward came and gave a presentation about composting to the class. We then went out to the garden the kids planted last year, to see the growth and discuss which items could be composted. Along with how compost would improve the garden.
Math - Building shapes with straws, identifying the figure's attributes.
Social Studies: Reviewing our vocabulary in the Social Studies book through a scavenger hunt.
Language Arts - Our first unit is poems. The kids already have written two different types - shape poems and one adapted from Beans, Beans, Beans by Lucia and James Hymes (1960)
Classroom Book A Day is completed for our first week. Looks like the favorite was The Legend of Rock, Paper and Scissors. The goal is to read a picture book a day just for fun! We also have some good reflections as part of this activity.
