Our Week Of Learning



We had a wonderful busy week of learning. We began our math unit on subtraction.  Check out some of the fun things we did this week.  Who says math has to be a work sheet?


We started off our unit with singing the song Five Green and Speckled Frogs and acting  out the story with subtraction mats and paper frogs.




We made up silly  subtraction problems using pretend french fries.




We had a blast playing Bowling Subtraction. This was good practice for our bowling trip coming up next week.






We created flower picture word problems.  I love how different they all turned out.






We finished up our globes.



Working in teams is one of our favorite things to do.   The students learn so much from each other.  






 We reviewed our popcorn words with a game of  swat the sight word.





Look at how cute these bunnies turned out.





For food Friday we baked bread just like the Little Red Hen. The recipe is below.















Yeast Bread

2 cups of warm water
2/3 cups of sugar
1 1/2 TBSP of yeast
1 1/2 tsp of salt
1/4 cup of vegetable oil
5 1/2 cups of flour

Mix the warm water, yeast and sugar together until it bubbles.  Add the remaining ingredients and knead together.  Let it rise in the bowl until it doubles in size.  Bake in loaf pans or form into rolls.  Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.  Enjoy!


Have a wonderful weekend!

Our Week Together

 
  It was really nice to have a full week of school.  We are ready for sunshine and warmer weather.


  We read Me on the Map to start out our  unit on maps and globes.  We made our own version of the story with a flip book.  






We shared maps of our bedrooms.





We made paper mache globes.











We opened eggs and wrote  CVC words.




Check out what great writers we have in kindergarten.


"I love my teachers! I love you! I love my Mom and Dad!"



"I see a rack of a deer."


"We went to the shop."


A big thank you to Officer Matt Shive for visiting Check Elementary and hanging out with us in our classroom.




We continued to work on addition.

Mickey Mouse addition was so fun.





We practiced our addition skills with dice.



We made sight word caterpillars.



We enjoyed Earth cupcakes.





Have a wonderful weekend.
