Turtle Pond

We learned a new coding program. Turtle Pond from NCTM Illuminations gives the students an opportunity to practice math and computer science skills while having fun. We learned the program together as a group. There was a big cheer every time the turtle reached the pond. The students had a chance to try it on their own during centers. I was so proud of the students who persevered through many errors to accomplish their goal.

Books that Inspire

We have read books about kids who like to invent. These books inspire our class to "Think Big"!

Kinder Concert

We attended a music concert for Kindergartners and 1st graders at Lincoln St Elementary today. The concert featured a quintet of string instruments. There were 2 violins, 1 cello, 1 bass and 1 viola. Before the concert started the students were able to see and hear a cello and bass up close. We learned the terms allegro and largo by listening to the story of the tortoise and the hare set to music.
