This week we wrote and illustrated riddles. I compiled the riddles in a class book for our classroom library. Here is the digital version of our book. The students did a super job creating their riddle.Hope you enjoy them.
Here is the video from our project Students created sculptures, wrote about their sculptures and added the voice to pictures of their sculptures.
Enjoy!

Friday our class participated in the O.R.E.O. project. That stands for Our Really Exciting Online project. Hundreds of classrooms across the U.S. participate in the project. Our class used science, math and language skills while working on the project.
So, you are probably wondering, "Well, What did you do?" I am glad you asked. The students predicted how many oreos they could stack. They stacked the cookies one at a time and kept track of their data using tally marks. When the tower of cookies fell, they recorded their data and compared it to the prediction. Each student was given two attempts, with the better number counting for the class average. When we finished, we averaged the results and posted them to the project website. We then compared our results with other classes across the nation. Our kids are great cookie stackers. They beat the first grade average by 2 cookies. Our class average was 18 cookies. We had 2 students, Jeremiah and Mia, who stacked the most cookies with 23 each.
After using all the science and math skills, we moved on to the arts. Each student was given cookies to use the filling and the cookies to make a sculpture. When the sculture was finished, I photographed the results and each child wrote about his/her creation. Stay tuned for our video showing off our creations. Of course, we finished the project by using our sense of taste to enjoy some of the cookies.
