Home Learning

If you would like to work on math at home, page 93-94 in your child's pink math notebook cover current skills. I also sent home the February home learning log in Friday folders.

What is Blackout?

On Monday our class will have their first opportunity to play Blackout in gym! An explaination of the game went home on a piece of paper in your child's Friday folder. It's basically a mix of capture the flag, flashlight tag, and hide and seek. Some of the kids are a bit nervous, and asked to see what Blackout looks like, so here's some videos of my class playing the game last year. On gym days it's encouraged to send kids in black (or dark) clothing so they can hide easier when playing the game!

Math games

Handwriting and drawing practice

We started our next fairy tale and engineering challenge! We have been studying The Three Little Pigs. First, we identified the characters, setting, and problem in the story. Then, we brainstormed solutions for solving their problem. We decided that the 3 pigs need some new, strong houses. We learned a new thinking routine called Claim and Support. We did an example claim and support with a shelter that I chose.

Finally, each group chose a shelter that they thought would be the best for the pigs to live in. They did a claim and support to document their thinking.
