Looking Back at Time By: Mrs. Hall

Our Time Unit wrapped up this last Friday...however due to the lack of school, we will be revisiting this subject, daily.  I encourage you to visit this area of study daily too!  One of the greatest parts about our time unit is that we dove into Math Groups and nailed the management side of things!  The students now have the hang of how to properly conduct themselves during this time, and have done a wonderful job during "Independent Math Time"... I think "Math Workshop" will be headed into our class shortly...

Math Groups by: Mrs. Hall

Time... It's time to focus in on the art of studying time.  This does not always come easy.  Many of our students are just now for the first time looking at a watch or a clock for the purpose of actually reading the TIME.  My best advice to you as we journey together in an endeavor to teach our young ones how to "tell time" is to practice it often, several times throughout the night ask your child to tell you the time.  Not only ask them to tell time, but ask them "How many more minutes are there before (name an activity)?" 

Design Contest Winners By: Mrs. Hall

I remember, as a student in Elementary School and throughout Middle and High School, wondering WHY I had to learn certain subjects.  I often still ask that question during different times in my life... I wonder WHY?  The question WHY?  can be haunting and distracting, so in order to help my understand the WHY?  I often attempt to provide them a real-world answer. 

Which brings me to our Math Project last week... A Design Project.  Last week we discussed perimeter, and geometrical shapes.  We discussed how real world designers use these terms when designing buildings, homes, and even amusement parks.  We decided to then put our design skills to the test.  The pictures are our classroom design winners.  What fun it would be to see their designs one day in real form...

This is a fun website for kindergarteners  thru 8th grade and you can play games and if you are having a little difficulties you can practice subtraction facts addition and much more... you can even play games and print a multiplication table.  And we are studying polygons so just click on the link and you can see what I did in the math lesson.  You can see what a polygon is and what not.
