Gingerbread Houses

         Room 11 had fun creating their gingerbread houses Friday.

       

       

       

       

       

FOODPLAY

Yesterday we went to MBS for an assembly on eating healthy.  It was very good and the students really enjoyed it.  Please ask your child about what they learned about "go foods" and "slow foods".

                  

Balance

Last week, we started a unit on balance and motion.  The hardest balancing act was getting our pencils in a stable position using counterweights.  Everyone got it, just look at those smiles!

                

                

Addition with Carrying

This week Room 11 has been learning how to do two-digit addition with carrying.  First, I teach carrying with the base ten blocks so that students understand the concept of why we put the one in the tens place.  We have spent the whole week practicing with these blocks.  Next week, we will start doing two-digit addition with just paper and pencil.

                    

Making Gingerbread Cookies

Last Friday, everyone got the chance to roll out, cut, decorate and eat their own Gingerbread Person.  They were of course delicious!

            

            

Gingerbread Houses

On Friday, December 13th, Room 11 will be making gingerbread houses.  Please make sure that your child brings in a piece of cardboard covered with tinfoil and a bag of candy for decorating by Monday, December 9th.  Thank you for your help with this project.  The whole class is very excited!
