We had a good first week back after spring break! Students had lots of fun reconnecting with each other during choice time.
In math this week we started a new unit on measurement. Our focus for the week this week was length. We began the week by comparing objects and learning the words longer and shorter.
On Wednesday students had a chance to do a cotton ball competition to see which partner's cotton ball went the shorter distance and which partner's cotton ball went the longer distance.
On Thursday students practiced measuring using non-standard units. Each student traced and cut out a diagram of their foot. They then used paper clips, cubes, dice, counters, pennies, and links to measure how long their feet were with each.
This morning we had a chance to attend a performance by the Stuart Pimsler Dance Company.
The performers introduced students to modern dance. In the photos below members of the group worked with Brimhall students to create dances that depicted each of the four seasons.
During literacy this week we learned about main idea. Students used what they learned to write opinion pieces on their favorite seasons. They are becoming excellent writers and illustrators! Their projects turned out so great that I had to post them all!
