Earth Day

We can help the Earth!

In honor of Earth Day, we spent some time discussing ways that we could help the Earth.  The students had lots of great ideas!  Above is a picture of the finished product. Below are a few close-up photos to show you their ideas.

Facts to 10

This week we have been focusing on learning our facts to 10.  We have been singing a song to the tune of This Old Man:

Make a 10,

Make a 10, 

We know ways to make a 10.

9+1 and 8+2,

They have sums of 10 it's true.

7+3 and 6+4,

Do you know there are two more?

5+5 and 0+10.

Now let's say them all again!

Today we practiced by playing some card games.  We played Go Fish and Make a 10.  Both of these games required the students to know what goes with a number to make 10.  It is a great way to practice and would be a fun game to practice over vacation.  Knowing the facts to 10 can help students be more efficient and quicker in their other addition facts.

Dr. Lesser and George welcome us to NOAH.

Such a patient dog!

Guessing the x-ray!

Love that face!

Name that bone.

Little Bird Tales

The students have written their first narratives!  After they finished creating a story line, writing an introduction and creating an illustration of the character; they were asked to produce their story digitally using the website Little Bird Tales.  They had to record their story and create three digitally produced illustrations.  Below are the links to their stories.  Click on the picture to hear the story and turn up the volume since most of them read really quietly (I'm trying to find those quiet voices for work time!).  Enjoy!
