Fun with Math Games

After Family Math Night we practice playing some of the fun addition games we learned. This one is called Box Car Alley. We had to add really quickly. We used our 'adding up' skills.

Our Christmas Party

Our awesome Superintendent, Mary Vagner brought Santa to our school to meet us! Then, all of the kids brought a small gift for each child. They had a blast passing them out and sharing with each other. We made bags to put all the gifts in. It was a great party and everyone took home 26 gifts. We had so much fun!!!

Christmas Music

We had fun playing songs with the Christmas Bells. Everyone got a turn. We also learned how much math there is in music!

Making Gingerbread Houses

Miss Jensen and Mrs. Commons helped us make gingerbread houses. Mr. Terry made houses out of Styrofoam which made them much easier to decorate. We had tons of choices of candy. We had to promise that we wouldn't eat them until we got home. We had a lot of fun being so creative.

Big Bushy Mustaches

One of the stories in our reading book is called Big Bushy Mustache. It is a fun story. To introduce congruence, we made mustaches. The kids looked adorable!

Count down to 2012

Each child made a chain with 21 links on it. They attached it to a subtraction bell. Each day they took off the links. Weekends were tricky. They wrote subtraction equations on the bell. It was a lot of fun. We will concentrate on subtraction a lot in January.

We learned about citizenship from Ms. Amy

Miss Amy Armstrong taught us about good citizens like Clara Barton, Jackie Robinson, John F. Kennedy, Jr., Rosa Park and Abraham Lincoln. She taught us about the importance of recycling. She helped us make Silhouette Books. She taught us to vote on what type of goodbye party to have. We chose a Sundae Party. Miss Amy is going to be a great teacher.
