Young Learner's Showcase is....

Thursday, May 17th from 6-7:30. :)

Great Day!

Hello everyone! I've been completely slacking on posting and having kids post on our blog!!  We've been soooo busy working, we've had a limited amount of time to blog!!!!

Today, my daughter visited our classroom for Take Your Child to Work Day!  The class was AMAZING as usual with welcoming her and including her!! Thanks everyone!!!

We put our eggs in the incubators on Tuesday and expect to have our chicks in just a few short weeks!  We can't wait!!  Families will be invited to come in and visit our chicks before they are sent to their new farm. 

In math, we're working on double digit multiplication.  The kiddos have a bunch of different methods for solving problems-new, modern ways that most parents might not have ever heard of!  Try to be patient with your kiddo as they try to introduce this new way to solve multiplication problems!

We're transforming our classroom for Young Learner's Showcase!  If you haven't heard, I will be teaching first grade next year.  I'll be sad to leave my third grade colleagues and kiddos, but excited for a new venture!  With that said, I've chose to begin pulling apart my classroom during free time-some kiddos have even stayed in at recess to help!  This opportunity has allowed me to hang student work everywhere around the classroom!  It looks really awesome!!! It's all about the kids!!! I love it!! 

Can't wait to see you at Young Learner's Night so you can see the great work that the kids have been doing!  A flyer is coming home on Friday!  I don't have a calendar in front of me right now, but I'll post it on a future post!

Have a great evening!!

Another beautiful day!

To celebrate another beautiful day, our class went outside and worked on our vocabulary in the sun!  Students worked extra hard so we'll definitely be doing that again soon!

Cock-a-doodle-doo!

Today, in our classroom we had a rooster and a hen.  We learned:

There are little tiny holes on the egg called pores.  -Paige

There can be lots of different colored eggs like brown, white, green, pink and blue. -Anna

The rooster did the cock-a-doodle-do 28 times!  -Niko

We learned that they breathe through an air bubble in the egg. -Chloe

We got to pet the rooster and the hen and they were really soft. -Noor

Jonathan's Crayfish Escaped

Today at Jonathan's house, my crayfish escaped out of it's container.  It was out for at least 10 hours.  It stayed alive!  We put it back in the container and we put it on the steps of our basement for a little while so it wouldn't crawl out into our bed! 

So busy!! Not much time to blog!!

Sorry, we're lacking in blogs this week!  We've been super busy!  The kiddos got to visit the "Ag Van" today!  Ask them about it!  They made their own lip balm!

Yesterday, we played spelling football outside.  Super fun!

Also, ask them about money dots where they each got a little reward before break!

Have a great spring break!!!!!

Love, Mrs. Smith :)

Students practice multiplication algorithm outside!

Students practiced the multiplication algorithm outside today-for a few minutes!  It was a little colder than it looked out there!
