Sorry for the long gap since my last post! Things have been a little busy around here :) Our last unit in math focused on shapes and our last unit in social studies focused on recycling, so naturally we integrated the subjects and created a recycled robot! The kids LOVED this activity and had a great time naming the shapes as we used them to create our robot. This also allowed us to put a big focus on 3-D shapes, something we've only touched on, and I was surprised at how much the kids knew about these shapes - they never cease to amaze me. This robot proudly sat in our Town Hall area until a few days ago, when his hot glue joints went out and he started to fall. He's now actually been recycled, but we sure loved him while he was around!
UPDATE: We had our first marble party this week and it was a blast! The students brainstormed ideas for the party (some included a giant marble cake or a "learning party"- don't we do that everyday??), but in the end we chose extra recess and popsicles. It was the perfect day to spend extra time outside and the kids adored it. We've set our next marble goal for 30 marbles, 5 higher than last time, and I'm already looking forward to the next party!!
