Place Value to 1,000

We've been learning about place value. The students have been using the hundreds, tens and ones blocks to model numbers to 999. Today, we learned about expanded form:  200+30+5= 235

I didn't send homework over our Thanksgiving break, however, a few students insisted they wanted to take it home. It's not really due until December 2nd.

Nominating Books

The students have been writing their opinions about books and characters. Last week they started writing a book nomination with proof from the text. Today the students shared their nominations with the judges in our class and decided which award was earned. 

Flat Stanley

We read the book Flat Stanley and decided to send our own Flat Stanley's on a little vacation so we can learn more about different cities, states, and countries. We've been learning about landforms and regions and we're hoping our Flat Stanley's visit some interesting places.

Blue Ribbon Celebration

We celebrated our Blue Ribbon School honor with lots of fun on Friday. The students loved their new shirts and we wore them with pride. After our whole school photo, we had a little Read In. The students went on a scavenger hint in the afternoon. We ended the day writing about why we earned the award and enjoyed a blue ribbon candy stick.  Yum!

Dressed For Success

It was exciting to see all the future jobs my students will have one day. I'm so glad there are future teachers, doctors, nurses, zoo keepers, surveyors, police officers, lab workers and geologists. I can't wait to see the talented athletes and performers. I look forward to eating some of the yummy food the bakers will make! It was fun seeing the future of all my talented students!

Math Test on Friday

We've been reviewing and getting ready for the math test tomorrow. The students will be expected to subtract two digit numbers and solve word problems too. They were excited to use our Activotes to review!

Landforms

The students have been learning about different landforms. They made a book to show the different landforms.
