Measurement
We have been learning all about measurement the past two weeks. Here we are trying to figure out which window is larger. Emma's window is wider but Andrew's winder is taller. So which one is it? We used 1 inch tiles to figure it out. (The kids didn't even know it, but they were learning early skills for figuring the area of a surface.)
M&M graphing
When learning how to sort and graph, we got to graph m&m's! The best part was that we got to eat them when we were finished graphing!
Thanksgiving Facts
The weeks prior to Thanksgiving, we read several non-fiction books about Thanksgiving. The class really got into the history of the first Thanksgiving. We asked the 5th grade social studies teacher, Mrs. Howard, to come visit and try to "stump" us with some Thanksgiving trivia. She was blown away with our knowledge. Her favorite answer was given after she asked why the pilgrims wanted to come to America. Sweet little Malayla answered, "because the king of England was bossy!" So true!
Thanksgiving Lunch
Yes, this post is about a month late. However, here are some pictures our little Native Americans and Pilgrims during Highland's Thanksgiving lunch. Our wonderful cafeteria staff served over 1,000 lunches on this day!
