End result
(The balloon would have inflated more but the water in our sink doesn't get very warm.  The warm water reacts with the sugar and yeast inside the bottle creating carbon dioxide.)

Graphing Our Class Reward

We are working on graphing during math right now.  Last week we learned how to interpret and create pictographs. Together the class generated a list of rewards for earning all of Mr. Potato Head's pieces.  We then created a data table and voted on a class reward!  After, the kids made pictographs on dry erase boards.  Check out our results!

Chloe's Pictograph

Be sure to have your child wear his/her PJ's on Tuesday!

Class Reward!

We earned our first class reward! Each day the class shows "evidence" of star behavior we add a piece to Mr. Potato Head. Once Mr. (Or Mrs.) Potato Head has all of his/her pieces, the class gets a reward! We will choose our reward tomorrow! I am very proud of the class, they have ALL been working hard to show STAR behavior!
