Here is the link to the math game that we tried to play in class this afternoon.

Halloween Math
 On Friday, three firefighters from the Holland Township Fire Department visited the first graders at New Groningen. They reinforced the concepts that we had been discussing in class throughout fire safety week and made learning about fire safety and prevention fun! After their presentation, the firefighters even let all three classes go outside to explore the fire truck, try on some fire protection gear, and shoot the water hose. It was another great Friday in first grade! We just wrapped up our science unit on Matter and the kids did a great job! I was blown away by the depth of the questions that this group of budding scientists asked on the first few days of the unit, and I had a lot of fun tweaking my lesson plans and coming up with ways to extend our learning based on their interests. I have never had a class of first graders express such a fascination with molecules -- wow! We spent 2 weeks learning about the properties of solids, liquids, and gases and exploring how matter changes between the different states. Be sure to ask your son or daughter about our ice cube investigation, putting the mentos in the diet coke (!!!), and making root beer floats with our 3rd grade buddies. All of our special activities revealed something new for us to learn about matter! Apple Day was a huge success in the Frog Room! After bringing in apple donations for over a week, our class was more than ready to start exploring, investigating, cooking, and eating on Monday! We spent our day learning all of the same subjects that we normally do (shh...don't tell the kids!), but we just added an apple emphasis! It was a fantastic, fall-themed day; check out our photo gallery below!  Just a quick note to let you know that our Apple Day celebration will be on Monday, October 7.
Thank you so much for all of your generous donations of apples and apple treats -- I will post a full re-cap and pictures after the special day! | AuthorMrs. Nelson ArchivesDecember 2013 |
