Week of January 19

Happy Marting Luther King Day!
We were inspired to think about what PEACE means to us.



In the spirit of all the snow we've been getting we enjoyed the book above....

....and enjoyed a theme activity where we wrote about what we would do if we lived in a snow globe.

Living in Vermont certainly feels like a snow globe these days!

January calendar is rich with important math concepts. We are working on combinations to 5; collecting unifex cubes and collecting data...


...then analyzing our data using the math language: most, least, equal.

We learned about 'number trees', and how to create them to represent combinations of numbers.

Collecting unifex cubes

Children are working with part-part-whole concepts to create combinations of numbers through 10.

Abby and some 6th graders gave a presentation about composting at CCS.

It's great to know why composting is important and why we compost at CCS.
