Have You Heard About the Butter We Made?

As a conclusion to our Agricultural unit, we made butter and watched Charlotte's Web 2.  We had a lot of fun.  Sorry about the delay with the pictures. (I had a little problem with my camera.)  Here are a few pictures of both grade 1 classes making butter. We will be doing some procedure writing on how to make butter so we can share the "secret".  By the way- it tasted great!!!

Candy Corn Fun!

On Oct.31st, we spent some time working with candy corn and ten frames. We displayed numbers to 20, showed one more, two more, one less, and two less. We also made estimates and did more than and fewer than. We also completed our spooky literacy centres and had fun at our integration stations.
