Toy Cube Project

Math 4 students have been hard at work writing instruction booklets for rebuilding their imaginative cube toy creations. 

Students enjoyed a wonderful performance of The Bremen Town Musicians by Opera Saratoga.

 The 50 States

Students created informative and eye-catching state travel brochures.

Read Across America Day 2017

Author Barbara Slate worked with the 4/5 students on character development.

The 4/5s are a very talented group of students. A few performed at our annual Variety Show to rave reviews!

The 4/5s enjoyed a delicious pancake breakfast with their Pre-K 3 and Pre-K 4 buddies.

 Geometry City Project

The math 4 students used angle concepts to create their own original geometry cities.  They drew city layout maps that included streets, buildings, parks, and landscaping.  Their cities had to include parallel, intersecting and perpendicular streets, right, obtuse and acute angles, quadrilaterals and other polygons, a city name and city population.

Here are their imaginative cities:

Authors are hard at work writing imaginative, suspenseful mysteries.

Students enjoyed learning about animals from the Utica Zoo.

The Hedgehog

The Porcupine

The Owl

Math 4 students are creating their very own Geometry Cities.

 Students began by drawing drafts of their ideas.

Our Mapping the US by Heart geometry unit continues.

Our focus now shifts from the ten northeastern states onto the eleven southeastern states.  The students recently completed their second map, drawing the outline of the US and adding the ten northeastern states.  Their next drawing will incorporate the eleven southeastern states we are learning about now.

Students navigate through centers that include identifying mystery states, using atlases, doing puzzles, playing the Scrambled States of America, and using ipads to explore Stack the States.    

 Math 4 students have been exploring polygons, angles, and lines.  Here they are using protractors to measure and draw angles.
