For the last few weeks your children have been working on becoming fluent with their doubles facts. We learned how fluently means quickly. Some of the ways we have practiced are: flashcards, games, SMARTBoard activities, BrainPop videos, worksheets, and white board drill practice. To reward the kids for all of their hard work we made doubles dominos with graham crackers, frosting and mini chocolate chips.
Last week we learned all about visualizing when reading. We also learned that good writers use many details to help their readers picture what they are trying to convey. We practiced using our 5 senses to help describe snow, and start the process of our first stories. For a fun activity to tie everything together, the kids were able to build snowmen using all sorts of goodies. They did this by playing a doubles math game where they had to "roll a snowman" using dice. Once the kiddos had all of their pieces it was off to the races. Below you will see all of their smiling faces showing off their hard work. The next day, we wrote all about how our snowmen felt, tasted and looked (pictures to come!). This week we learned all about what resolutions are and why it is important to set goals for yourself. We used this opportunity to reflect on how we will be better students. Students also worked hard on their math facts with learning how to balance equations using a New Years themed game! Take a look at how your little guys (and girls!) are already knocking your socks off in 2013.
