Happy New Year!!
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and have enjoyed the holidays.
I wanted to share some of the activities we did between Thanksgiving and Christmas. When we came back after Thanksgiving we had a new bulletin board in the hall. They have been painting our school and put up new boards for everyone. We made ornaments to put on our new board.
In math we have been working on place value. First, we drew stars for one minute. We counted them by drawing a circle around tens, then fives, and then twos. We all enjoyed this activity.
Later we did a lesson called "Button Place Value". The class was divided into groups. Each group had a bowl of buttons. The buttons were put in cups of ten. If a group had ten cups they would put the buttons in a ziplock bag to make one hundred. Finally, each group shared how many buttons they had. We repeated the process with each group's buttons to find the class total.
We also used base ten blocks to learn about place value.
On Wednesday, December 9, we had a special visitor come to our classroom. Rebecca Bledsoe is the children's librarian at the West Memphis Public Library. She came and talked to us about the different things the students can do when they visit the library. She also read us a story. We really enjoyed her visit.
I hope you enjoyed getting caught up on what we have been doing in class.
