Math Month and More...

At school in the morning, we've been doing math story problems.  And in the afternoon.  - Isabella

In school we've been doing math story problems.  And in the afternoons, we solve them.  School is a lot of fun.  We learn stuff and right now we are learning about measurement.  On Friday, it was Ella's birthday.  Ella's birthday was a lot of fun. Grade 1s and 2s do different math story problems.  Grade 2s do all of them and grade 1s do only some of them.  With math story problems, we can learn a lot.  They are really fun to do.  What do you like to do at school? - Evva


I can't wait til Easter!  Easter is on Monday.  I'm SO EXCITED!  In school in the morning we are doing math story problems.  Math story problems are when Miss Matsumoto types up problems and we write them down in our math journals.  In the afternoon, we solve them. - Sierra

We do math work stations and math problems in the afternoon.  And we solve the problem.  We just do KidBlog and we are doing our math journals.  We had to do KidBlog using our journal.  We will do our math journals in the morning and we have a good time in the morning with our math journals.  - M.


It is starting to feel like Spring FINALLY!  The snow melted a lot.  At recess I saw a lot of grass.  This month we are doing lots of math story problems because April is Math Month.  - Ella


Last week we were measuring stuff.  We were all in different little groups and we had to measure the same things.  Before we measured them, we had to write down our estimate for how many counters would be equal to the things we measured.  Then we would put in our estimate and see if it was equal to the thing we were measuring.  If it was not equal, we might have to take some out or put some more in.  We were using counters that look like beans to measure.  In the morning, we are doing math story problems.  We are writing them down in our math journals.  Some of us don't have any paper in our math journals, so we had to get some more journals.  The grade 1s get to do two and the grade 2s get to do three.   - Stella


It is almost Easter!  And it is almost Wellness Day too.  Wellness Day is when we get to pick our stations and then when it's Wellness Day we get to go to the stations.  Some of us may have the stations we picked, and some of us won't.  Now I am talking about Easter again because my teacher, she said maybe next week on Tuesday we could decorate eggs.  And there is also a sad part this week, because our teacher is going to be away for two days!  Also it is Good Friday this week.  We are also doing Math Story Problems because it is Math Month.  Also we are measuring things.  Things that we are measuring are cards, an eraser, a spoon, a baseball, a red ball and a jar and I think that's it.  - Lara


Me and Lara are making a book called the Valentine's Fairy.  We are going to make a good fairy and a bad fairy.  The bad fairy is trying to make the good fairy bad with her.  In the computer lab today we picked a journal entry from our journal and we wrote it down on our KidBlog.  In my journal I am making a chapter book.  The chapter book is called, The Adventures of Lara and Lexie.  They go on tons of adventures. On the first page, Lara runs out of milk!  I can't wait until I am done The Adventures of Lara and Lexie.  Also, about the Valentine's Fairy, we are making other books and the other books are called: Lara Lost Her Shoe and Stuck in a Comic. - Lexie


During Spring Break, I didn't get to do a lot of things that I wanted to do.  Because we needed to clean the house every day.  On Wednesday, I just went to the dentist.  On Friday, we went to my Tita's house.  - Lara


I can't believe that it's going to be Spring.  December is too cold because it gets too cold and it's going to be a blizzard.  Happy Spring! - Skylar
