Beginning of the Year and More

I am finally ready to start posting some pictures of our class on here now that I have received permission slips from students. I usually will post weekly or bi-weekly with pictures and information about our class events and learning, but for this post only, there will be a few different sets of pictures. These pictures cover the first few weeks of school. I didn't want to leave anything out from our year so far, so I tried to include a few pictures of some of our favorite activities so far this school year. Enjoy!

Erin and her group members work together to build a "Silent Puzzle" Students were not able to talk while figuring these puzzles out. They had to work together non-verbally to accomplish this task.

Ryann and Nicholas have completed the green puzzle. It was a school house!

This group works together to figure out their puzzle!

Trying to fit those pieces in somehow!

Ryann and Erin playing a math game called "Tens Go Fish".

John and Ethan playing "Tens Go Fish".

Abby is moving around the room during our Noun Hunt. Students had to find picture cards hidden around the room and determine if the card contained a person, place, or thing.

Nora records her answer on the recording sheet.

Erin has located one of the noun cards!

Makenzie and Ethan explore the magnet letters during Word Work time in our Daily 5 literacy block.

Erin and Abby proudly display their Frog and Toad craft and writing activity for our classroom door.

Most of our girls decided to make and write about Toad from the Frog and Toad books we read in class.

Our Frog and Toad door!

Mari and Abby are playing a game during Math Group called "Place Value Wars". This card game reinforceswhat we have been learning about place value in math. The cards have Star Wars characters on them and were a huge hit with the class.

Luca has won a round during "Place Value Wars".

 

Trent explores Brain Pop Jr. during Tech Time in our Math Daily 5 time.

Erin and Erin work on addition and subtraction facts with a fun color by code sheet featuring Yoda, one of our favorite Star Wars characters.

Abby records the time from the mini clock onto her "I Spy" recording sheet. Students were able to move around the room to find various clocks displaying different times. Their job was to write the time on their recording sheet.

Luca records the time from a clock on our white board.

As you can see, we have been very busy in Room 17! I hope you have enjoyed this little peek into our classroom from the first few weeks of school!
