On Friday we did math partners.  Lesly and Tyler and I were partners.  We counted pumpkin seeds by tens.

So Many Seeds

The children enjoyed investigating the inside of their pumpkins last week.  We thought that smaller pumpkins wouldn't have many seeds,  but we were wrong! Most pumpkins had between  300 and 400 seeds.  Thank goodness we've learned how to count by 10s, and now we can count by 100s!

At school we counted our seeds out of a pumpkin.  It was fun.  It had orange on it.

Declarative Sentences

You need a space in between your letters. You need a period at the end of your sentences.  You need a capital letter at the beginning of your sentences.

By Payton

A declarative sentence needs a capital letters.  A declarative sentence needs a pinky space.  A declarative sentence needs adjectives.

I went trick or treating with my dad.  I got a lot of candy.

Pumpkin Investigation

On Friday,  the children worked to measure small pumpkins with a partner.  They recorded the weight,  the length around the middle,  and even tested their pumpkins to see if they would float or sink.  Ask your child what they discovered! Next week,  they will count the seeds in their pumpkins!

Third Grade Writing Buddies

Recently,  Mrs.  Cox's third grade class came to room 107 for our first writing buddies session.  The third graders helped the first graders compose,  revise,  and edit sentences in a short story.  We are looking forward to having them return soon!

I see a seal and play with dad.  The seal is orange and gray.

Partner Pattern Block STEM Challenges

The children chose a challenge card and then made a picture out of pattern blocks to meet the challenge.

Some made a lion,  car,  flower,  or train,  while others created their own challenges. 

The children enjoyed working together and deciding how to build the pictures.  

Partner Pattern Bracelets

Students enjoyed working with their math partners to practice patterns.  Each student created a pattern using beads and then traded bracelets with his/her partner.  Partners then extended the pattern before trading back the bracelets.  Another fun learning activity!
