80s Day and Art Start Performance

Well I had to laugh when my students had to "RESEARCH" the 80's.  Too funny!  Wow you boys and girls look so COOL!

 Wow what a wonderful way to start the day with Art Start Performance... The performance was a mixture of music, song and drumming from South Africa.  It was so cool how they showed how some tribes use drumming to send signals.

Math Trains and Number Stories

We have been working on creating math trains and number stories.  We have also worked on being able to show multiple ways to show an answer.  It is important for them to be able to explain how they reached the answer!

Different ways to show a 6 trian.
Now we are making the math equations to go with the math trains:
                      3 + 3 = 6
                      4 + 2 =6
                      5 + 1 = 6
                      6 + 0 = 6  etc.


Subtraction Number stories...
 We have eight apples and two fall off.  How many do we have left?
                  8 - 2 = 6
We have 6 apples left.

Addition Number Stories...
 We have 6 yellow apples and 2 red apples.  How many apples do we have all together?
                           6 + 2 = 8
      We have 8 apples all together.


Here is how we practice in Nature...
6 + 2 = 8

4 + 4 = 8
