Ready to begin in 2010!!

The Discoverers wrote goals for themselves for 2010:

*My goal is to improve on reading because I sometimes don't understand the question.
*My goal is to improve my handwriting.
*I want to know multiplication better and better.
*My goal is to be more respectful to others.
*My goal is to get better counting by nines.
*My goal is to start memorizing my math facts to become an expert.

Our last day together in 2009!

We spent the morning contemplating what we wanted to improve upon for 2010. The Discoverers, of course, had some great ideas! Here we are preparing our hats, our goals, and our pictures for 2010!

Spreading Holiday Cheer

The Discoverers were very excited when they found about the YMCA gift program. They were ready to get our special friend whatever she needed. I love that caring attitude! We were not able to walk over to the Y because of the rainy weather, but here is a picture showing the generosity of our classroom. Again, Thank you to our wonderful parents for helping with this important cause.

Holiday Party

The Discoverers had a wonderful time creating and eating their designs. Thank you to all the parents for your help and contributions in making this a very successful party. What a great way to end 2009...

Geometry Trees

I like how each tree is unique and special in its own way just like the Discoverers!

Architecture of a tree

We explored the basic shapes you may find when looking at a building to create our own interpretation of a holiday tree.
