Coding With 4th Graders

Here we are having our first 'coding' experience with Mr. Ravenell's 4th grade class. Coding is a fancy word for 'programming'! Our little ones could have bright futures as computer programmers!

Comparing Quantities Through Word Problems!

We are developing and deepening our math skills and critical thinking skills by finding solutions to word problems! These are some smart cookies. They were asked to have an equation, proof drawing, and a statement that answers the question. Check out  students who worked through today's problem before the timer went off...!

Kwanzaa

We learned about Kwanzaa and made Kufi hats with Kwanzaa symbols!

Daily Word Problems

We solve a word problem every day as a part of our daily math routines. Studies have shown that solving word problems help to develop multiple math skills along with critical thinking skills. Here are a few student responses to the following word problem:

Jalina has 7 cubes. 3 are red and the rest are black. How many black cubes does Jalina have?

GINGERBREAD NIGHT....! OH MY!

Thanks to all of the families who were able to come out and share in our annual First Grade Gingerbread Night! This is an event where families are able to come together and tap into their creative sides by building a gingerbread house...from scratch! At first it's intimidating for most - but once you start to figure out how the construction part works - families lose themselves in the fun! A great time was had by all!!! Thanks again for making tonight a huge success! Check out the beautiful creations! :)

Literature Circles

Check out our first graders as they read together in learning clubs!!! They love reading together!!!
