We were busy making our instruments for our Cacioppo Crew Band!
We are making "flutes" with straws.
We used sand in boxes to make "maracas."
We used the rulers to make an unusual sound!
By far, the noisiest station was where students placed marbles inside a plastic cylinder.
We also made "guitars" with rubberbands and boxes.
Video of the Cacioppo Crew Band in action!
Leader in Me focused on how Leaders are more creative when others are involved.
We took our own ideas and synergized with others to make an even better idea!
ST Math in action!
We are looking at math through a different lens.
A good challenge is to encourage your child to practice ST Math for 10-15 minutes
at home throughout the week!
The goal is for every student to reach 100% of the program by the end of the school year.
We are learning about attributes of different shapes.
We know that a defining attribute is the name of the shape, number of sides, and number of corners.
A non-defining attribute is the size, color, and thickness of the shape.
In our game, we were challenged to pick a shape that was a change of one attribute from the previous shape.
We are also working to identify the name of the shape and defining attributes for the following shapes:
circle, square, triangle, rectangle, pentagon, hexagon, octagon, rhombus, trapezoid, and parallelogram.
We are also learning how to classify four sided shapes as quadrilaterals.
We are also learning about different kinds of triangles:
equilateral, isosceles, right, and scalene
Different kinds of angles for triangles:
acute, right, and obtuse
With all of the indoor recesses, students were busy at work completing this 300 piece puzzle.
Please excuse the 3 pieces that are missing and somewhere in the Cacioppo house.
I have a big heart because...
Students worked on completing the sentence and giving examples on the actions that they do to show they have a big heart.
The 2nd Graders presented during the Leadership Assembly on Wednesday.
We learned about why it is important to be grateful!
Congratulations, friends, for winning the leadership badges for February!
Our leader of the week read a story from home to the class!
We also heard about her adventures with Purple Hoser (our class Beanie Boo).
I love the intensity during this place value game.
We are becoming experts at identifying numbers in the hundreds, tens, and ones place.
We also used geometric builders to create different 2-D and 3-D shapes!
Happy Snow Day!
