Week 33
In honor of our amazing Room 112 mothers...Please enjoy this slideshow featuring our amazing room 112 first graders showing their love!
It was a busy and "clay"ful week in Room 112...
We had our fabulous Artist in Residency, Karie, come on Tuesday! Karie will be coming again on 5/23 to finish teaching the first graders about clay art and helping them finish their own clay creations! If you are available to help out that day from 12:00 - 1:30pm please let me know!
A HUGE thank you to our Art Literacy helpers! Erica (Harris' mom) taught the first graders all about the art of architecture and showed lots of examples that can be found around Portland. Then, the first graders got to create their own city-scapes!
We also ended the week with a root-beer float party! Thank you to Harris & his family for their generous and delicious donation :)

Here is a math activity to support building addition and subtraction fluency (knowing facts in a snap!)
What You Need: Heavy paper, such as construction paper,Marker, Masking tape, Hard floors
What You Do:
1. Before you start the game, write a complete math fact in large type on one side of a sheet of typing paper. Wherever you start, write one math equation on one side of each paper, such as 6+6=12; and write just the question (such as 6+6) on the other side. Make at least 20 facts, and then mix them all up.
2. Set up the challenge: tell your child that their mission, should they choose to accept it, is to cross the room without touching the floor, using only their knowledge of math facts. Tape a square of blank construction paper on one side of the room. This is "start." Explain that you will show them a math problem, and every one they get right will become their next "step" allowing them to move across the floor.
3. Stand in front of your child, and show them the question side of the construction paper. If they state the correct answer to the math problem, turn it around and tape down the answer side a good step-width away. Allow them to move one space forward. If your child does not answer the problem correctly, they must stay on the same space. When your youngster gets all the way across the kitchen, they have successfully completed their mission!
