FEBRUARY:
We visited the Necco web site to learn how Conversation Hearts are made. Each student then got a box of Conversation Hearts which they grouped by color and counted. Then each student entered their numbers in the Excel spreadsheet found on the Activities page to create their graph. After we had all created our graphs, we found out who had the most hearts and who had the least. Our teacher then entered all of the data into a summary spreadsheet and here are the results: We were surprised to find that sometimes you didn't get any of a color or that you only got 1 of a color. We were also surprised at the big difference in the number of hearts you might find in a box. The student that had the least hearts had 22 hearts in their box and the student that had the most had 40 hearts!

Some of us also created a Things I Love collage in KidPix - we're sharing them here along with the ones created by the Kindergarten class too: media type="custom" key="3989235"

JANUARY:
In January, each 1st Grade student created a Penguin Glyph and completed a Penguin Math Book: media type="custom" key="3741279" 1st Grade also enjoyed the book //My Brother Loved Snowflakes// and drew their very own snowflakes in KidPix. Enjoy our snowflakes and the snowflakes of our Kindergarten class too: media type="custom" key="3989105"

DECEMBER:
We started off the Winter Wonderland project by reading an online book at TumbleBooks called //Martin McGregor's Snowman//. We thought the part when Martin covered himself in bubbles to be a snowman was so funny. We have finished drawing our Winter Wonderland pictures in KidPix and recording //Jingle Bells// for our video: media type="custom" key="3720281" This video is also [|available on Vimeo] if you are having problems with TeacherTube.

Did you see our Nativity pictures in our online Holiday Card? We also took the Holiday Polls in class using Excel so we could see our results as we took the polls and here they are:

This is our second online collaboration. We are also doing the //How Tall Is A First Grader// project too. If you're interested in that project, you can check out what we've done so far on St. Martin's wiki.
