Last week I was flying solo in our classroom with the help of an aid. It was kind of nice. Don't get me wrong I love working with my co-teacher, she's awesome but it was nice to know "I've still got it!" We had a shortened week with school on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. We published our 5 W poems and they are now up on display. This week is a full week again. Yesterday was a fun day we made gallon men in math and tested how many macaroni noodles could fit in different sized cylinders. In social studies, we went on a walk around Kirkland to look at different businesses. The students had to decide if they provided a good or service and if so what. They got a little confused at the library though. They then had to pick one out of the 11 we visited and will have to make a page about that business for our Kirkland Directory we're making. Last but not least, we also created our very own acrostic poems. First the students made one about spring and then they had to create one using their names. Some of the poems were quite clever!.jpg)
Today we started to practice weighing items. We started using a food scale and a spring scale with a sandwich baggie to try to find out how many pennies equal an ounce. We found out it's between 11 and 13 depending on the scale. The students seemed to really like this.
