Leapin Leap Day

We had a LEAPING good time today learning about leap year and playing some leap day games.

We watch a quick video clip that explained why we have a leap year.

 

We colored and read our very own leap year book.

In math we played several math games for leap day.  Most of the games helped us practice our skip counting.

One of the games we played was a skip counting game.  We started on a lily pad 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5.  Then we had to hop to a lily pad with a number that was 4 more.  We had to keep hopping to lily pads with numbers that were 4 more.

We played other games that helped us practice 10 more and 10 less, counting on and counting back and making equal equations.

Class T-shirts 2016

We got our class t-shirts and we love them!  

Our goal is to wear these shirts every Friday and any time we go on a field trip.  

WAY TO GO BRI! 

Bri was voted the January star student for behavior.  Who will be the February winner?

Bri even chose to share her cookie with her classmates.  Now that is generous!

Tropical Island Day

Today was Tropical Island Day!  We had so much fun.
We started the day off by learning a  little bit about the Hawaiian Islands.  Ask your child to share with you what they learned.
We then watched Lilo and Stitch with Mrs. Smallwood's class.  Mrs. Wanke gave us our Hawaiian names also.  Her name was Mrs. Lala.

At lunch everyone got a slushy!  YUMMY!

In the afternoon we made our trail mix and learned how to hula dance.  The hula dance was much more popular that the tropical trail mix.

Here we are pretending to be surfer dudes with our reading buddies!
