We are learning lots about money.  We may even have a real (pretend) shop in our class once we get good at working with money.

Geoboard work in Senior infants

We made squares and rectangles using elastics and geoboards. When we were making the squares we had to take care that all the the sides were the same length so we counted carefully!! It was our first time using the geoboards and teacher says that we are the smartest children in the whole world!!! We can't wait to make some more shapes next week.  

3D shapes

We collected 3-D shapes and tested them to see which ones we could roll, stack and slide.

Measuring up in First Class

We recently learned two new words, length and width, and have been learning all about them. We learned how to measure the length and the width of many different things both in the classroom and at home. We have used a variety of objects to measure length and width including cubes, crayons, lego, straws, lollipop sticks and even a cut out of our hand span. We're not yet sure if these are good things to measure with or if we can find a more useful way to measure so check back soon and we will let you know what we discovered!!
