Snow

Before I forget, a couple reminders: We are in charge of bringing in baked goodies for the Friday bake sale. Please send items to school this Friday morning. The other thing is we need to wear red, white, and/or blue on Monday for the Patriotic Assembly. (Any members of clubs,Boyscouts, Brownies... can wear their uniforms)

We were so excited today when we woke up and saw that it was snowing.

We went out and worked together to make snowmen. This is "Sam" the snowman. Some of us fell in LOVE!

Ahhh....fresh falling snow.



We even gave up some of our winter clothing to make our snowmen.

Early in the morning, our snowmen started out small.
This is CS with his first snowball.

This is RL with her snowman.

First thing this morning, we went to the computer lab to research our African animal.

This is CA highlighting the information that he printed from the Internet.

After lunch we learned a new math game.

It is called Handful of Treasure. It teaches us how to rename when subtracting.

This is SA counting out our treasures.

We started with 90 treasures and then took turns taking out handfuls out. Then we would figure out what the answer was and show it using our tens blocks and ones.

BR and RL were partners. Here they are working the problem.

JW and JS are "proving" their answer here on paper.

JS is setting up his math problem.

SA and JC did a great job working together and explaining their thinking to eachother.
