Week 2

What another great week it's been! 
We have been super busy in math lately - here are some things we have been reviewing!

We completed a project together that took so many steps! We wanted to know how we could make the longest, 2 color pattern possible with all of the unifix cubes we have. We decided that the first thing we should do is divide them up into different groups by color!

















Then, we decided we better count them to see which groups had the most!






















Then, we reported our findings!


















We narrowed it down to the 2 biggest numbers so we could make the longest pattern possible! We then worked all together to build it, and counted 124 blocks in our red/black pattern! (Go Dawgs!?! Totally not on purpose even!)
















We've added a new activity to our phonics instruction as well: the sand trays!!! This activity is a great way to hit the visual, auditory and kinesthetic learning styles to help different learners AND to reinforce what we learn to our brain in so many different ways!
