Here is today's math lesson! Kudos to Connor for figuring out how to use sticks and dots for subtraction the same way we use them for addition!

The living museum

Every year all of the First Grade classes put on a Living Museum! Each student chooses an important American Historical figure or symbol to research. We expect them to learn 5 interesting facts and explain how their symbol/character has impacted the world we live in today! Everyone did an AMAZING job!

We invite other grade levels, parents, and administration to come view the museum and let the kids show off all their hard work!

Life Size

During our recent penguin research we discovered that there are 17 different types of penguins existing today! Which is perfect since we have 18 students in our class right now each student (and one pair) got to have their own penguin to measure and draw a life size chalk portrait of their penguin! This way students were able to visualize the actual size of the different types of penguins and gain perspective of just how different they are in size!

Here they are hard at learning :)

We used string to measure the penguin height in inches and then we marked the ends of the string so we could see just how big to draw each penguin.
