Making 2D and 3D Shapes

  On Wednesday we worked hard on our Envision Math Topic 13- Shapes. We worked on three math stations after completing our math mats. We constructed three dimensional shapes using clay and toothpicks. We made two dimensional shapes out of pipe cleaners and drew shapes in shaving cream. On Thursday, we used the geoboards to create shapes then we used the Geoband app on the iPad to recreate our shapes! We had a lot of fun at these math stations.

Cloud Show

Mr. Musselman of the Burlington Science Center was in to visit Room 101 on Thursday.  We learned about clouds!  Cirrus, Cumulus and Stratus clouds.  

Mr. Musselman read us a book about clouds. Some look like cotton candy, others look feathery like a horse's tail and others feel like a damp sheet.

Students were asked to turn and talk to friends to make predictions about what would happen when heat was applied to the glass container of water and then ice was rested at the top.

Kindergartners learned what it takes to create a cloud and may be asking families at home to help recreate one!

Hoot of the Week & Congratulations

 This week Room 101 had the Kindergarten Hoot of the Week. Congratulations to Asante! We also had a a couple students get to a new percentage in ST Math and a couple students complete their next Boost Quest. We also had a couple more students turn in their April at home reading charts. Nice job Room 101!
