Math Explorations
Lots of fun math activities during center time! We practiced using rulers to measure objects, we estimated the length of objects, and we learned how to use the ruler to make straightedges. The students reviewed skip counting by twos and they explored dominoes. We learned that dominoes are more than just for fun, they can help us with counting, adding, and subtracting.

Identifying Things From Under The Sea
We were hard working scientists this week. We made very close observations of sea shells and sea creatures. We learned how to ask questions and use the questions to help us read an identification key. We learned the names of shells and the creatures from A House For Hermit Crab.

Wayne County Fair Week
The students in room 111 were so excited about the fair. They wrote about all their adventures in their writing journals. It's always fun to hear what their favorite parts are. My family and I decided Wednesday would be our fair day. Even though it was about 90 degrees at 8pm, we braved the heat to get our favorite treats. I headed to the 'Cheese on a Stick' wagon as soon as we got there. After I enjoyed my treat, I made my way to the school building so I could see my students' art work. I was so proud of their awesome projects. We made our way through lots of buildings, won some fish and ate some good food, but by far, the school building was my favorite.
