To celebrate the end of March Madness basketball we played our own version of March "Math" Madness. Students worked on addition and subtraction problems and were able to take a shot at the basket after getting a question correct. Students also worked together as teams in a math relay race. Besides practicing our math facts, students learned a lot about sportsmanship and being a good teammate.
Team "King of Kings" had a team huddle before the game began.
Jasmin gave team Cheetah a pep talk before the start of the game.
The team captains, Jasmin and Moises, started the game for their teams.
Hector and Moises concentrate so they can make their next shot.
At the end of the game all of the students high-fived each other to congratulate everyone for working hard.
Also this week we created a new Spring door decoration. We talked about recycling and reusing materails for other purposes. We used soda bottles and water bottles to paint flowers. Also, because April is poetry month we wrote cinquain poems about flowers.
Jasmin reuses a soda bottle for a new purpose. She is painting flowers.
Keven uses a paintbrush to paint the stems and leaves for his flowers. Keven showed how we can reuse old newspapers to help keep the table clean when painting.
To celebrate Easter we had an Easter egg money hunt. Students needed to find different eggs hidden around the classroom. Before students could find another egg they needed to count how much money was inside the egg. After students correctly counted the coins, they placed their eggs into the basket and went off to hunt for another one. Students had a great time searching for the eggs and counting the money inside.
Anayeli and Jasmin quickly count the coins in their eggs.
Moises, Hector, and Nathan count their coins.
The students worked together to find the last egg.
