Star Student

Star Student: January 15th- January 20th 

Winter Fun!

Since the weather was so nice this week we went outside for gym! 

Addition & Subtraction to 18

Throughout the month of January and February we are focusing on Addition & Subtraction to 18 in math. This week we used colored counters to come up with different fact families. We also learned different strategies to help us with adding & subtracting. 






STEM-Toothpick Tower

Last Friday we had our first STEM activity. STEM is an acronym that stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math education. STEM education is an integrated interdisciplinary approach to learning that provides hands- on relevant learning experiences for students. Our first STEM challenge was to use 20 toothpicks and 20 mini marshmallows to build the tallest tower possible.
