The Number Seven

We are seven detectives. 

This is what we know about the number 7. 

Across the sky and down from heaven, that's the way to make a 7.

7 is a good number because it is past 6.

7 is before 8.

3 and 4 more make 7.

7 is a good number because it can make a 7000.

2 and 5 more make 7.

4 plus 3 equals 7.

7 is a good number because only 3 more will make 10.

The number 7 is in 67.

We made it...100 days!

We are certainly 100 days smarter...don't you think?

This morning we...

• pretended to be 100 years old
• counted to 100
• even counted by 10's to 100! (we pretended to be grade one's!)
• made groups of 10 things
• took 100 steps (where did we end up?)
• accepted a challenge from Mrs. Moores and ran one hundred steps in the gym 
• did 100 exercises
• sang a 100th day song
• were silent for 100 seconds (that was hard)
• wrote our names as many times as we could in 100 seconds
• read a story about the 100th day
• worked together to make a 100 piece puzzle
• made a special 100 day snack
• worked together to make a structure with 100 legos!
• skyped with Mr. Fennemore's class!
• read OVER 100 blog posts - Thank you for your help!

Now we need a nap!

Pattern Detectives

Look what happened in the math area this morning!  Pattern detectives united and fabulous patterns were made and read by all! Can you find the repeating parts?

We'd love to hear about the patterns you can create at home or in school! Be sure to share with us!

Number Combinations

We are busy learning how to show numbers in different ways.  We used unifix cubes and popsicle sticks and even string.  We found lots of ways to make six! Look for a collection of 6 things around your house.  Be sure to tell us what you found!

 

 

Pattern Detectives

We are becoming super pattern detectives! Our january calendar shows a pattern and today we choose things to make our own patterns just like the calendar! Our blue group even switcherooed and extended the patterns created by friends!

What do you know about patterns?
