Prodigy Math

After working so hard on their math test today the students had some free time to play Prodigy. This web-based fantasy math game is aligned with the Common Core Math Standards. Students can connect with one another and "cast spells" by solving math problems. The program increases the difficulty level the more students play. My class absolutely LOVES it, and the best part is that they are practicing important math concepts as they play. 

Student Post- Stone Fox

The story we are listening to during read aloud is called Stone Fox. Stone Fox is a about a little boy and his grandfather who live on a farm and plants crops. The characters are Little Willy, Grandfather, Doc Smith, Stone Fox, Searchlight, and Clifford Snyder. The big problem is that Grandfather is sick because he owes taxes. Little Willy is going to try to solve the problem by winning $500 in a dog sled race. Will Little Willy beat Stone Fox in the race?

Student Post- Lunch Bunch with Ms. Lassey

Over the past 5 days we had Lunch Bunch with Ms. Lassey. She met us in the lunchroom and then showed us her office. We had lunch and played getting to know you Jenga. We had so much fun.  I hope we can go again.

Student Post - We're crazy for Cursive

We are learning cursive in the classroom. We learned that all the letters connect together. We love to learn how to write  in cursive. Learning how to write in cursive makes us so happy. We can't wait to learn how to write more cursive letters!

Student Post - Happy Spirit Day

Last Friday we had spirit day.  We could wear sports clothes to school,  but if you wore sports clothes you would have to bring in some money for Red Cross. The Red Cross will use the money for the hurricane victims. Our class raised about $55 and the whole school raised about $1500.
