Family Traditions Quilt

In Social Studies we talked about various family traditions. Each student then created a quilt square to illustrate and describe one of their family traditions. We then put them together on bulletin board paper to create a Family Tradition Quilt.

Family Tradition Quilt

A few weeks ago in Social Studies, we discussed family traditions and the students shared a few things that make their families unique. With the help of their parents, the students wrote down at least one of their family traditions on a paper quilt square. They then illustrated their work and shared them with friends.

Family Day - Short A

As a part of our phonics study, we have special phonics days on most Fridays. As we studied 'short a' the students practiced reading and spelling word families such as /am/, /ad/, /at/, and /an/. To help them remember the sounds, we had a special "fam" day. The students brought in pictures or drew pictures of their family members to share with the class.

Family Graphs

In math the students have been learning to create and read tables and graphs. We have been learning about three types of graphs: real-object graphs, picture graphs, and bar graphs. To assess their learning, the students created a table on a foldable about their families. They tallied how many boys, girls, and pets are in their families. They then transferred the information from the table to a bar graph.
