Guess My Rule

Here we are playing a game in math called "Guess My Rule". We chose one attribute to sort our objects by (i.e. #of legs or shape) and our learning partner had to guess the rule we sorted by. 

The Hour of Code!

Mrs. Groden introduced us to "coding", also known as computer programming. The Hour of Code was a global initiative held this month to get more kids,particularly girls, interested in coding as a potential career path down the road. We coded using the free iPad app, Scratch Jr.  We used the class set of iPads in the library while Mrs Groden, Dr. Peterson and others assisted. Check out the pictures of us below!

Timothy's Toybox

Last week all the books we ordered for the children in the TTB program arrived. We enjoyed previewing all the titles and then assisted Mrs Paget in sorting and labeling the books for their December 3 delivery to Sharon and Tim Gilbert, the mother-son team who run the program. Thank you for all of your timely contributions and book orders at this time of year. We all felt a sense of pride knowing that we helped make someone's holiday a little brighter!

A few of us wrote labels for each child on the list. We were very diligent about copying the names correctly and helping our peers locate them when they needed them. 

We helped Mrs. Paget find the right books for each child and made sure the name label matched.

Here are some of the books we purchased for the wee ones in the program!
