Height Graphs

One of our first math lessons of the year involves taking measurements of heights, and creating representations to show heights in an organized way.  This lesson reappears in June, and the kids are really amazed how much they grow in one year.  Everyone except me.

The heat is still causing some stir, but the kids are not complaining.  It's only the adults who can't tolerate the heat.

Here are a few more photos from our outdoor work time.  It's nice to be outside, since in a few months this weather will be a distant memory.

JOBS are a topic of discussion lately, as the students really want to start earning a salary.  They are excited to hear about the different jobs tomorrow morning, and they will be asked to choose their top three.  Hopefully they all get what they want.  Bus Patrol with Mrs. B also started today.  That was "HUGE" since many of the kids have been waiting for years to do this.
