Congratulations!

We have a Math star in our hallway. The stars hang in the hallway outside our classroom and celebrate those students who can answer all the addition facts to 18 in three minutes. We are looking forward to a whole universe of stars over the next weeks.

Our computer Dreambox lessons are finished. Right now we have lots of enthusiasm for worksheets full of Math facts. Of course, that's not all we want to do in Math, but for now, we are enjoying the practice and the sense of being able to do harder and harder questions.

We are also practicing our skipping skills. As temperatures rise outside, skipping is a great activity to build strong bones and a healthy cardiovascular system.

Does your child have a skipping rope?

See our beautiful patterns?

We worked hard on this project that combined Math, Social Studies, and Art. Just wait until Friday when we bring these home! The ones in the picture aren't finished yet. We did even more work than you can see here!

We've been chanting Double Rap for a few days now. Today we thought we'd go public. We do have a video, but I'm having trouble getting the material onto the blog. I'm going to keep trying. In the mean time, you can ask for your own private performance at home.

Yay! It's up.

I apologize for cutting the video short at the beginning and the the end. I'm still getting used to this camera.
