The Arctic Ocean

After researching a little bit about all of the 5 oceans, we took a vote to see which ocean we would be visiting first.

There was a tie between the Arctic and the Pacific Oceans, so, we had a runoff!  It was close, but the Arctic Ocean won!
 
 
We started our research by listing all of the things that we already know about the Arctic Ocean. 
Then, we listed all of the things that we wanted to learn with our research. 
 As we did our research, we made a list of the things that we had learned.
 
 

 
Each day, a different group of friends researched to find the answers to the questions that we had written.  Then, they told the class all about what they had discovered.
 
 
We also made a web of everything that we had learned.

B-I-N-G-O!

The children learned to play a new math game this week. 
5+ Bingo has become a big hit!  Now that everyone has played at least once, it is going into the math center so that friends can play it whenever they want.

Caroline W. was our expert.  She taught all of our friends how to play.

The Sweetest Day of the Year!

The children did such a great job decorating their Valentine boxes!  They were so creative and just perfect for the sweet treats that went inside.
















 
 
Next, we had a special surprise....heart shaped cookies and brownies!







We finished the day with a "Sweetheart" graph for our math journals.
