First Day of Spring?

Today is the first day of spring, but it sure didn't feel like it! When we went out for morning recess, the temperature was still in the 30's! We did our best to run around and keep warm. We're hoping warmer weather makes its way to Bartlett soon!

St Patrick's Day Math

On Monday, we celebrated St. Patrick's Day by doing a special math activity. Each student got a scoop of Lucky Charms cereal. Once they separated the ceral from the marshmallows, they made tallies to count how many of each type of marshmallow they had. When they were done tallying, they made a graph. Then, we tallied the entire class and made a large class graph to see how many of each type of marshmallow were in our box of Lucky Charms!

Making Words

Today we tried a new phonics activity called "Making Words". For this activity, we were given the letters - a, i, o, b, n, r, and w.

The first thing we did was come up with words that were one letter long. We found two!

Next, we used our whiteboards to come up with two letter words. Sometimes it was tricky because we kept trying to add extra letters, but we found 6-two letter words.

Three letter words came next, and we were able to find 12 of them!

Now it started to get a little harder, but we were still able to come up with 6-four letter words.

Five letter words were even harder, we only got four of those and we didn't fine ANY six letter words!

Last, we tried to figure out the "mystery word" by unscrambling the letters we were given and seeing if we could make one big word out of all seven letters. It took awhile and some clues from Mrs. Cossiboon, but finally we were able to figure out that our mystery word was:

RAINBOW!

Trying to come up with words.

Jump Rope for Heart

Today during gym class, everyone participated in Jump Rope for Heart. Each student was put into a group. The groups then rotated between seven different stations. At each station, the students had different jumping challenges. Some of these activities included using different types of jump ropes, jumping over things, and jumping on one foot over hula hoops.
