We will practice adding, using a calculator, and finding an average during the O.R.E.O. Project in October! Thanks Jenuine Tech. for organizing this great project! This is our third year participating and we just love it!

We will also participate in "The Great Pumpkin Seed Count" in October, organized by Jenuine Tech. This project will allow us to make estimates, count and add seeds, and find the difference between our estimates and the actual number of seeds in our pumpkin! This is also our third year in this project... what a great way to practice our math skills!

In December, we will learn about other states in our country by participating in a Gingergread Man exchange and creating Gingerbread Men that represent Michigan to send to other schools! In exchange, we will get Gingrebread Men from other states. This is the first year we've done a Gingerbread Man exchange. Thank you Mrs. Shaw for organizing this interactive way for students to learn about other states!

The fourth project we will participate in this year is a St. Patrick's Day project where we will be counting and graphing the different kinds of marshmallows in a box of Lucky Charms. I am looking forward to doing this project for the second time this year. Thank you Jenuine Tech. for providing this opportunity for my students to collect data and compare it with data from around the country!

 Throughout the school year we will be practicing our math and handwriting skills by writing and making Snazzy Snacks once a month. After making the snack, I will post pictures on our website so check back often!

We have fun learning every single day through hands-on activities, group work, art projects, poems, songs, and technology. I'm looking forward to another great year!
