2-D and 3-D Shapes

We are doing a unit on 2-D and 3-D shapes. The students are doing amazing at this. We have been practicing shapes at the website http://resources.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/maths/shape.htm. We did some stations around he room. A fun activity that we did was making our own 3-d shapes. We made cubes and pyramids with only using toothpicks and clay. They turned out pretty neat!

All About Dr. Seuss!

 We had a very busy week filled with Dr. Seuss activities in celebration for Read Across America. Pictured above is our class on pajamas day and they are all holding their favorite book. We had a book parade in the gym to "show off" our favorite books. We read Green Eggs and Ham as a reader theater in pairs. One person was Sam-I-Am and the other was his friend. I heard some excellent reader voices during this activity!

We had Dr. Seuss book cover puzzles placed all around the classroom to play with.

 An art/writing project we did in class was called There is a Wocket in my pocket. Each student had to come up with a creature that rhymed with pocket, describe it, and then make it. They were very creative in this activity. Enjoy them below!

This was a very fun activity! We read the book The Cat in the Hat and then wrote about to the writing prompt, If Thing One and Thing Two came to my house... They sure came up with some interesting ideas. They all decided that their parents wouldn't be to happy if they showed up! Last, we used our hands to make a Thing 1 or Thing 2.
