Mrs. Hyland's class has joined another Internet Project called
Froot Loops to the Max!

We joined in the fun to investigate the contents of a Froot Loop box. 
We sorted and graphed the contents into color groups. 
Most importantly, we worked cooperatively in small groups.
We started with a hypothesis that, at the end of this project,
the color appearing MOST in Froot Loop Boxes will be RED!

Addressing NYS Standards

• Explore and solve problems generated from school, home, and community situations, using concrete objects or manipulative materials
• Organize observations and measurements of objects through classification and the preparation of simple charts and tables
• Make estimates to compare to actual results of both formal and informal measurement
• Interpret organized observations and measurements, recognizing simple patterns, sequences, and relationships
• Share their findings with others and actively seek their interpretations and ideas
• Adjust their explanations and understandings of objects and events based on their findings and new ideas
• Generate ideas for possible solutions, individually and through group activity; apply age-appropriate mathematics and science skills; evaluate the ideas and determine the best solution; and explain reasons for the choices
• Collect and display data

Mrs. Hyland's class joined an Internet Project called
Fall is Here~We Love It!

We began our discovery of autumn with a leaf walk and
read the story Leaf Man by Lois Elhert.  We also read the story
Fall is Here!: I Love It!  by Elaine W. Good with Mrs. Neddo in Library.

We gathered leaves to make our own leaf collages
just like Mrs. Elhert does in her book. 

Afterwards we wrote a poem to describe our feelings about fall.  Mrs. Hyland and Mrs. Civiok made special paper for us with the scanner.

Photos of our leaf walk, leaf collages, and poetry can be found in a PhotoShow.  Click Here to see the show.
