Hive Changes

Well, it seems that the hive is moving....Moving up in grades that is.  This up coming school year I will be teaching Second grade.  That's a big jump from Kindergarten and Pre-K.  Throughout the summer, I will be updating and changing some of the information found on the blog.  I would like to keep my previous years of blogging, but I will be changing some of the main information to Second grade info.  Bare with me...you know how technology can be when trying to manipulate it the way you want.  :)

Last week...

It's our last week in the hive, and we are definitely going to be busy.....busy bees!

We're Graphing

This week we did some review of graphing. The kids think it's fun to "magically" guess what I have in my mystery bag by reading a graph. Learning is always more fun when you make it into a game.

The Ocean!

So now that we have finished going buggy, we are moving onto the OCEAN! This will be our last science unit of study, so we are going all out. We are taking our whole classroom "underwater". Pictures to come soon of course. Our first sea creature studies was the octopus. Here are some pictures of us working.
