Math Day, Valentine's Day, and So Much More!

This week was fun-filled! We began our week with Kiker's Annual Math Day! We enjoyed rotating through each of the classrooms where we learned measurements surrounding a world's record box of chocolates, created ziplines, made measurement tools, and solved investigations in a mathematical way!






On Tuesday, we celebrated Valentine's Day. Thanks so much for all the donations and help you gave to make the party a success! We enjoyed our breakfast treats and mailed our carefully crafted cards to our friends. Second grade is using biography to create an outline for a written expository piece. Third has been hard at work creating annotations in poetry. Fourth has been working with fully fleshing out expository pieces. All grades have been mastering the art of analyzing sentences.

Our meteorologists wrapped up their weather unit this week with some additional practice measuring and recording weather, using weather maps to predict weather with the movement of warm and cold fronts, and identifying the effects of seasons on living things. We culminated by showing what we know with some reflective weather writing.





Second grade mathematicians are applying multiplication concepts in all kinds of ways.  Our favorite involved buildings made out of cubes wih the same number of "rooms" on each "story".  Third graders finished their work with fractions, reviewed analog time concepts, and solved problems involving elapsed time.  Fourth graders applied logical reasoning to their study of lines and angles, then finished the week exploring the sum of interior angles in a triangle.  It's been a busy week!

Enjoy the weekend!
