Tick Tock Around the Clock

First graders had a terrific experience learning how to tell time. We learned a fun chant in Ms. Hinnant's class to help us remember which hand tells us the hour and which hand tells us the minute. It goes like this: The small hand has the power it shows you the hour! The long hand shows the minute count by fives to get it! We also learned the "Tick Tock Around the Clock" song in Ms. Hinnant's math class!  Here are a few photos of our fun times... hahah


We used large clocks, small clocks, medium clocks, the Activboard, flashcards, songs, videos, and much more to learn how to tell time time!

The 100th Day of School

On Tuesday, February 12, 2013 our class celebrated the 100th Day of School! We began our celebration by counting to 100 by 1's, 2's, 5's, and 10's. We did 10 bundle dances with our calendar straws (10 straws in each bundle). We made 100th Day hats, wrote 100 words, worked on 100th Day packets, illustrated 100th Day poems, and made 100th Day books too! 

*Happy 100th Day of School*
Look at that hat!

Back to learning we go...

We made snowflakes using a line of symmetry. We even added a face, hat, and mittens to make them all our own.


We each thought of something we wanted to know about our classmates and created a survey question and collection method. We collected and organized our survey data in many different ways.







Feel Better Elizabeth and Mrs. Perry

We made cards for Mrs. Perry's daughter, Elizabeth, while she was sick. We knew a few band-aids would help patch things right up!
