Math Books and Food Chains

We started a couple of fun projects today.  We are making a math book for the kids in 1st and 2nd grade to use when they start learning about place value.  We each chose a number, and we are showing how to write it in word form, expanded form, using place value blocks, and using money.  We are going to laminate our colorful pages and bind them into a book to share with other classes!
In science, we read the book There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly.  Then we used the animals in it to talk about food chains.  We started researching the predators and prey of our insects for our insect reports.

These photos show us working on our math book pages on the laptops, and also show us working with partners to make food chains:
