We've Been Busy!

Things have been very busy in our classroom. We made turkeys with beautiful feathers and labeled the parts of the turkeys. They did the labeling all on their own and did great! We have also been working on -at words in reading groups. We cut out -at turkeys, and they wrote -at words on the feathers (cat, bat, mat, etc.)
In math, we made another class graph. We figured out how many letters were in our names and graphed them. We have long names in our class! We found that 6 letter names had the most and 4 letter names had the least. We also learned how to play a new game in math called, Cover All. The students play with a partner and each partner has a blank grid and some counters. They roll the dice and place the correct amount of counters on the grid. The first person to fill up their grid wins. It gets tricky near the end because they need to get the exact number to fill it.
