Graphs, Collecting Data & More

Over the past few weeks, our math lessons have focused on asking questions (to find specific information), collecting data, & presenting this data in the form of a graph.  With a partner, we came up with a question, collected the data from our classmates (using tally marks) & then added it to a large floor graph.  After constructing the large floor graph during class, a sample graph is placed in the hallway to remind us what we have learned.

 

 

 


 

Technology Fun!

Last week, the computer resource teacher came to our class.  She brought some fun technology to share with us.  We were able to explore technology in a new way...with a class set of iPads.  The apps we played with were designed for learning letters, numbers and other kindergarten objectives.  We can't wait to use them again soon.  Thanks Ms. Dunn!

All About Magnets

We had so much fun learning about and experimenting with magnets.  We especially enjoyed searching  the classroom for things that would stick to different sized magnets.  There were a lot of things in our classroom that were attracted to our magnets.  However, we were especially surprised to see that not all of the metal objects were attracted to them.

In one of our science experiments, we hypothesized whether cereal pieces would move with strong magnets.  We couldn't believe that the magnets could actually move the Total cereal because of its high iron content.  Lastly, we have really enjoyed our hands-on exploration of magnets, metal and magnet blocks.  We have even become excellent builders of 3-D houses and other objects!
