Our Art Project

Finally done with Christmas shopping! It is a zoo out there!! It took my son, Brian, and I 45 minutes to drive 1/2 mile down the road!! 

As promised, here are some photos of my students with their Christmas cards. These are made with ribbons they cut to the measurements I gave them and then they created line plots to show how many ribbons of each length they had. The Christmas cards were the final phase. I think they came out so adorable!!





This is definitely a project I will do every year! The kids had sooo much fun with it and were really proud of the end result.

That's all for now. I hope you all have a really wonderful holiday! Enjoy your break!

Just 2 more days!!

Just two more days until a glorious 16 day winter break!! This week is going by soooo sssssllllllooooowwwwwlllllyyyyyyy...... I'm sure you all are feeling the same way! 

My students are trying so hard to contain their excitement this week. They are doing a pretty good job. We have been busy learning about line plots and using number lines with intervals of 5 and 10 to solve word problems, reading passages about different holiday celebrations, and completing our science fair project. Tomorrow we are doing an art project as a culminating activity to our measurement and line plot lessons. The kids are excited about it. I will post pictures tomorrow. :D

How are you getting through these last few days before break?
