We used our iPads to go on shape hunts.
During our first hunt we looked for flat shapes.
During our second hunt we looked for solid shapes.
So proud of these little detectives and their mathematical thinking!
cheep cheep cheep
Yeehaw for nonfiction!
We are kicking off our nonfiction writing unit by researching farm animals. Lillie brought in her chicks to share with the class. Everyone loved listening to the chicks cheep, watching them huddle together to keep warm and feeling their fluffy down. Teacher Lillie and her mom shared lots of information about chicks, hens and roosters. 
GIANT gingerbread boys and girls
This is my favorite gingerbread activity. My students love picking somewhere for their giant gingerbread boy or girl to run to and their gingerbread decorations are so creative. Bryn made my day when I went to take her picture and she pretended to take a big bite out of her giant gingerbread. My students love seeing these giant gingerbread boys and girls "running" down the hall outside our classroom.
Teachers, it is not too late to make these with your students.
You can find this activity in my TpT Store.

tree scientist + police and firemen + Eric Litwin = a busy week
This week we my little scientist studied trees and recorded the parts of a tree, a fall tree and things made of wood in their Learning Notebooks. Our local police and firemen visited our school to talk about how they are important to our community.
Eric Litwin had everyone singing and dancing to his Pete the Cat and Nut Family books during his visit. Enjoy these pictures from our busy week...
