I think they call it “problem solving” within the math realm for a reason! Ya’ll, this is TOUGH for my kids! Maybe it’s the just the way the problems are worded and how they have to secretly solve for “x”….(HELLO ALGEBRA IN FIRST GRADE!!!), but it is just plain hard. After teaching it for 3 […]

I don’t know about you guys, but my week has been FULL of ENERGY! Thankfully, we had a smaller group towards the end of the week so the sugar high wasn’t as high as it could have been. This week we have finished up learning about forms of energy. I just wanted to share what […]
This week we learned about solids changing to liquids and liquids changing to solids! We used pop-ice and discussed their properties. They easily saw that it was a liquid as I busted one ALL over my pants!! The worst part was that it was RIGHT before an assembly. It even turned my seat cushion blue! […]
It has been yet another busy week at our house! I realized this morning that I didn’t snap many pictures of what we did in the classroom. Our wonderful teammate who plans science went to a great workshop this summer about journaling in Science. All of what we do pretty much can be put into […]
Students always love the week in science where we dive into exploring magnets. I loved that it was a great way to really introduce science topics with hands-on magnet activities and explore like scientists. It’s such a great introductory unit to do in the beginning of the year! Today I want to share some of […]
This week we talked about properties of objects during our science time. We began by observing some objects. I hid a few objects under a towel, then revealed them for 30 seconds, and then asked the kids to describe what they saw. As they described them, we made this (crooked, awfully plain) chart. We only […]
I’m really big on the kids journaling about their learning experiences. In our class, we each have a math journal and a science journal. We also have a class math journal, which is just a 1/2 chart that I have covered and made all pretty. As I’m trying to work ahead, I was sprucing up […]
