Happy Purple Friday

6-B had a great time showing our Raven's spirit!

We also enjoyed beginning our first math chapter. Above, we sorted manipulatives by various attributes (color, size, type of animal etc.) We then began our written work in Chapter 1.

 Below, you will find a summary of the objectives and vocabulary we will be covering during that time:

•     identifying objects that are alike and different; vocabulary- alike, different
•     sorting objects using one attribute; vocabulary- sort
•     sorting objects to determine whether or not they belong in a group
•     sorting objects using more than one attribute
•     using one-to-one correspondence to show equal groups; vocabulary- same number
•     using one-to-one correspondence to identify a group with more; vocabulary-more than
•     using one-to-one correspondence to identify a group with less ; vocabulary- less than

Please feel free to practice some of your own sorting, grouping, and one-to-one correspondence at home using these vocabulary words.  In class, I encourage the students to physically touch and then move objects as they practice on-to-one correspondence with manipulatives.

Parent's Night

I'm so excited to show our classroom to all of your parents tonight.  They will hear about all of the fun things we are doing at school.  They will see your special portfolios and maybe write you a little love note for the morning!

I can't wait to see your Raven's Spirit tomorrow! Don't forget to wear your purple, 6-B!

Love,

Ms. Clark

Celebrating our Summer Reading!

We had a wonderful time making connections to our summer reading book "A Birthday for Bear" by Bonny Becker. Before snack, we read and discussed the book as a class. Next we celebrated by eating cupcakes topped with gummy bears!

Later we discussed in partners what we like to do on our own birthdays.

We then dictated a sentence and illustrated what we like to do on our birthdays.

During math, we made a graph of all 6B birthdays.  We found that our class has the most birthdays during the month of September

The last surprise of the day was that each student received a red balloon to take home (just like the birthday bear in our story)!

Great work 6-B!

Our First Day in 6-B

Our day was filled with a flurry of activities! It's safe to say that our first day together was a success. Check us out in action above!

Our 6-B Classroom!

Good morning 6-B!

I hope you are all excited to come to our Popsicle Party tomorrow, August 28th, at 11:00 AM.

Don't forget to bring:

*a smock for art

*a picture of yourself

*a change of uniform to keep in your locker

I've put together a short video to give you a tour of our classroom.  There's also a surprise at the end...

Happy Summer 6-B!

I hope that you are having a wonderful time with your friends and family. I wanted to share some pictures of summer with you! Here's a fun challenge. How many things can you spy in these pictures that begin with the letter "b"?

I'm looking forward to meeting you at the end of the month!

Love,

Ms. Clark
