The Queen of Ten

On Tuesday the Queen of Ten visited our classroom she LOVES math and was very impressed with all of the math investigations we are doing in KC!

The Queen of Ten left special journals to record some of the things we learned from her! The Math Problem of The Day was about the Queen!

 When the Queen left we recorded in our journals!

We wrote a sentence about the Queen coming in our Learning Journal.


On Wednesday we learned about Bucket Filling! 

 We read the book

Ask your child what it means to be a bucket filler?

We are working on painting Todd Parr people. We read lots of Todd Parr books this week. Ask your child what Todd Parr book did they like best?

Making Shapey

We received a very special letter from a shape person called Shapey. Shapey heard we are amazing problem solvers and left us with a math project to solve. Shapey is made of a certain shapes and he is symmetrical. We had to help make a self-portrait of  Shapey for his  dad's birthday. Here we are working on Shapey.
