Measurements!


This week in math we have been focused on measurement, mostly with our bodies. We explored inside and outside, and took notes on how many "arm spans", "foot lengths", and "paces" things were long/wide. These practice measurements are giving the students a good foundation of where to start measuring, how to count the measurements, and where to stop. Here is a great video from Sid the Science Kid to explore measurements in your own house!


Elfie's Getting Creative!


Now that Elfie has been in our classroom for a full week now, he's making himself comfortable! We caught him "fishing" for Goldfish crackers over our sink a few days ago! What a stinker!

Our Mischievous Visitor!












We have a visitor in our classroom, and he's causing a lot of trouble! We have named him "Elfie", and so far he has gotten into our paper and made a paper chain, and this morning we found him fishing for goldfish from our flag pole! Oh my!

For those of you not familiar with Elf on the Shelf, they are sneaky creatures that come from the North Pole. They watch children to see who is on their best behavior, and then report backto Santa with the news! He's always watching!

Tune in frequently to see what kind of tricks he tries to get away with in our classroom!
