Snow Day Math

In math to celebrate the first snow we did a quick study of Pascal's Triangle and then tried to find all the ways to make the word "SNOW." After that we plotted coordinates on a grid to make a snowflake. Can you find all the lines of symmetry?

Snow Day Writing

To celebrate our first day of snow here in Minnesota, we are themeing our entire day around SNOW!

In writing class we read the The Snowflake, A Water Cycle Story. Then we wrote our own story in first-person about a snowflake's journey.

What part of your story, or a classmate's story, stuck out to you?

How to Eat Fried Worms Final Project

Today we finished our final projects for How to Eat Fried Worms, by Thomas Rockwell. Our final projects were illustrations of all 15 worms that Billy had to eat. I looked back in my book and took notes for each worm so that I could then just focus on my illustrations. If you had to eat a worm, how would you like it cooked?

As you see everyone is very focused

The class today is learning about comments in literacy 1 at 10 o' clock in the morning. The kids are learning to do polite comments from a spelling story. Eli says we should try really focusing on the comments not just writing the story was "Good."

How do  you think you can improve your comments you give?
