Oobleck

For PAT our (Preferred Activity Together) time last friday we made OOBLECK!  We learned about solids and liquids and what happens when you mix cornstarch and water.  It was messy, but we were outside, so that wasy okay.  
Thanks, Miss King, for leading us in this fun activity!

Tens and Ones and Cubes, Oh My!

We are working on understanding place value. We found out that you can break apart a ten, but you can't break apart a one.  

Did you know that you can't switch the digits around because you would get a different number?

Yesterday we used cubes to arrange numbers in different ways.  Mrs. Kaufman said our focus and diligence in this activity was phenomenal!

A Fine, Fine School by Sharon Creech

Mr. Myers visited our class yesterday and read the story A Fine, Fine School to us.  It is a story about a principal who wants to have school on weekends and during the summer.  It was fun to have Mr. Myers visit our classroom and we are glad that he wants to keep the school schedule just like it is.  But he did make it clear that he thinks we have a fine, fine school with fine, fine students.  We told him we think he is a fine, fine principal!  Thanks for visiting our classroom, Mr. Myers.
