Welcome to the 2011/12 School Year!!

So here is a small taste of what is going on this school year so far. A lot of these projects focus on names because it is a good way for me to get to know the names of my students and to get to know them. Some projects not shown here are 2nd grade's study on 3d shapes. Ask your student if they can name 6 3d shapes I bet they will say yes. We watched this awesome video >http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PiRhCwzg5E and sang along. We also made 3d shapes with clay and learned how to draw them. I hope you enjoy these projects!
