Human Shapes

Students used their bodies as line segments to make human shapes.


We are really good at making triangles!! It was the hexagons that really got us!

Math Mosaics


The students learned about mosaic art during our math lesson on area.

What a beautiful addition to our "art gallary"!

Each student gave their mosaic a title and counted the square units used.

Reader's Theater

These students are doing a reader's theater called "Stone Slop" based on the original story Stone Soup.


Students worked in groups to prepare a Reader's Theater that we presented to Mrs. Brown's second grade class. It takes a lot of practice to read clearly and use voice inflection while acting out a scene at the same time. The kids did a great job!

Try My New Candy!

Willy Wonka isn't the only candy inventor around. My class did a great job coming up with some of their own candy inventions!

These are the finalist that our class voted on. Everyone did a great job!


We are reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Students invented their own new candy and made advertisements to try to "sell" their creation!
