Celebrating Carnival in Brazil!

In our Travel the World unit, we are "traveling" to other countries. For this activity, we "traveled" to Brazil and learned about the country, what language they speak and how parts of their country and similar to and different from where we live. We learned about their celebration of Carnival, similar to Mardi Gras, and made some fun colorful and feathery masks!

Frogs on a Log Subtraction

We practiced subtraction with our frogs on a log. We started with 10 or less frogs on a log then the students decided how many were going to jump off. They then translated that into a subtraction problem. "There were 7 frogs on a log. 4 jumped off and now there are 3 frogs on the log."

Word Families

We are working hard with learning on our Word Families. We have learned about the At Family, the An Family, It Family, Ig Family, Ug Family and Ot Family. They are having fun in this activity making the Ot family words with magnetic letters on the board. They then wrote the words they created.
