No Food in Valentine's Cards

1/30/2015

0 Comments

 
As you begin to shop for Valentine’s Day cards for children to distribute at school, please keep in mind that cards may not contain any type of candy or food. We have a large population of students at Indian Trail with food related allergies and it is our goal to keep every student safe. Per district policy, there will only be one "sweet treat" provided per room during the Valentine's Day classroom party.

Happy Friday! Dojo Points & More

1/16/2015

2 Comments

 
It's been great to have a full week of school and get back into the swing of things. Something new we started last week was Table DoJo Points. Throughout the day, I award points (or take away points) for expected behavior (or unexpected behavior). The kids love seeing their points at the end of the day- it helps remind them that EVERYTHING IS AWESOME when they work as a TEAM! At the end of the week, the table with the most Dojo Points gets a table reward for the next week. 

Math

We are working on Standard NB.5-NB.7, using base ten blocks to add 2-digit numbers. By using the base ten blocks and drawings, students can show how the add the ones and tens together to get the sum of 2 or more 2-digit numbers. This makes the idea of "re-grouping" or "carrying" concrete and visual.

Visualizing

Our reading strategy focus has been on visualizing. We read Tar Beach without seeing the cover or pictures and drew pictures. Then we read it with the picture and finally watched the Reading Rainbow episode about Tar Beach. The portion about the George Washington Bridge was fascinating. You can watch it again here

Matter is Popping!

Picture
We took a closer look at the state of matter that is most difficult to observe: GAS. We did an experiment with Pop Rocks and Soda. Let's just say - we had a BLAST! We followed the experiment by writing lab reports, stating our scientific question, hypothesis, steps, results and conclusions.

Plus, there are great prizes for those who participate. Forms are due on February 3rd!
