Nature Center Fun

Today we went to the Nature Center to participate in the program entitled "Furry Friends."  The children learned about mammals and what makes a mammal a mammal.  After, the students went out on the grounds of the Nature Center on a "mammal hunt."

Today was Mixed-Up/Unusual Day in Room 8

For our class reward the students voted to have Mixed-Up/Unusual Day.  Many students dressed for the occasion.  Some students wore pajamas, two different shoes, two different socks, many had their clothes backward or inside out.  Some had crazy hair.  It was fun!

Our current math topic is geometry.  Today we made pictures using different pattern blocks and we used pattern blocks to make new shapes.  Fun Fun Fun!!!!

blocks to make new shapes.

It was a very busy day today.  We had a visit from the Nature Center.  Miss Chris taught the class all about different groupings of animals.  The students went to different stations to learn about the differences and similarities between groups of animals.  During the lunch hour, we had Kids Teach Too.  The participants in our class were: Kieran  who taught us everything we wanted to know about Hot Wheels cars, Isabella shared information about the Titanic, Cleo helped us to learn how to build a house, Mackenzie taught us about ice skating and Chloe showed us how to make a volcano erupt..  Those that did not participate were able to visit each of the displays.

Today in math we practiced estimating and measuring the length of different objects using unifix cubes.
