Working on the Problem Solving in Math

Learning to Read Township, Range and Section on a map of Douglas County

Before the farmers came in with their horny toad data, we had to learn to find places on the map of Douglas County. This picture shows our technology mentor, Kathryn, teaching us how to find Township, Range and Section. We were fast learners.

The Lion and the Mouse

We read the play, Lion and the Mouse, made head pieces for costumes and read the play for each other as a Reader's Theater.

Our Class Photo

Every morning we gather in the living room corner and have a Morning Meeting. We begin by greeting each other in sign or English language. Then we bring our minds together by stating what we will put behind us and what we are focusing our minds on for the day. We also go over the daily schedule, record the temperature on a temperature graph and go outside to record the direction and shadow of the sun. This will help us understand how our orbit around the sun changes with the seasons. In the pictures you can see Mr. Day, our Math para and Julie, Colt's interpretor.
