100th Day of School!

In Math, we celebrated the 100th Day of School by putting one-hundred gumballs into our gumball machine! 

We used Dot Paint to create our flavored gumballs!

We counted by tens and kept track together on the white board.

 Great job counting, Pilots!

Under the Sea for U Week!

To celebrate U week, we listened to the song "Under the Sea" and made our very own book titled "What is Underwater?"

Kudos to You!

In effort to communicate the positive behavior and efforts that I see each and every day in Math and Language Arts, I have begun to send home Kudos Awards. These awards recognize students who are role models during class time and demonstrate Respect, Compassion, Responsibility and Honor. If a Kudos Award comes home, celebrate your student! They are doing a great job in Pilot.

Counting with Tally Marks and Digits

Today we practiced matching numerals to their corresponding tally marks and finger digits. Each student received a bag of mystery cards. We raced to see who could empty their bag first!

Go Ravens!

Today we celebrated the Ravens by having Raven's themed math centers. 

We practiced our number writing inside a Raven's football...

And used purple playdough to make numbers!

Alphabet Basketball!

Today we played Alphabet Basketball. I wrote the letters of the alphabet on recycled paper. Each student got a turn to identify a letter and say the sound(s) it makes. Then they got to crumple up the paper and shoot it into the basket! This activity helped us review letter identification, phonics and allowed us to practice coordination. Plus, it was a lot of fun. We saw some awesome slam dunks!

Number Scavenger Hunt!

Today, we went on a Scavenger Hunt searching for the numbers 0-9. We walked all around Calvert School! There were numbers in the classroom, the hallway and even the lobby. Students discovered that when they found a number with more than one digit, they could mark multiple columns to create that number!
