Gamma

This week was amazing at AHB!  The Gammas loved their trip to Barton Springs on Tuesday and learned so much about Barton Springs and the Edwards Aquifer.  They enjoyed seeing wildlife, having lunch in the park, and had a blast playing on the playground! Thanks so much to our parents who were able to drive and chaperone. We appreciate you so much! YAY! We earned 100 TWIGGY tickets so Tuesday will be Crazy Hair Day Math Gamma twos wrapped up their study of data charts this week.  They were given  100 students’ birthdays and had to organize and display the data.

It was a great week in the Gamma room.  Although the rain has been great, we are hoping for a sunny, hot day soon to test our solar ovens.  We look forward to our field trip to Barton Springs on Tuesday!  Thanks for filling out the chaperone/driver survey! Math Gamma twos began learning about ways to organize data including frequency tables, dot plots and stem & leaf plots.  They enjoyed collecting data about the favorite animals of AHB students.  Next week, they will organize their results using a stem and leaf plot. They will be able to create graphs to

A great time was had by all the Gammas and Betas on Wednesday.  The Betas joined us for some fun Earth Day stations. The Gamma kiddos were awesome hosts, and we enjoyed our time together.  We will send home information next week about our upcoming field trip to Barton Springs. Math Gamma twos reviewed the hierarchy of quadrilaterals including parallelograms, rhombuses, squares, rectangles, trapezoids and kites.  They learned that some quadrilaterals have several names because of their attributes.  They also learned about symmetry and had a blast creating a “symmetry selfie” in class.  We wrapped up our geometry unit and

Thank you for sending in all the cool trash.  We are excited to turn it into an artist creations next week.  Save the date and stay tuned for information about a May 5th field trip to Barton Springs.  Next Wednesday, we are going to combine with the Beta class for some fun Earth Day activities! Math Gamma twos put their geometry and measurement skills to work this week learning to identify types of triangles – equilateral, isosceles and scalene.  They will wrap up geometry next week learning about symmetry and reviewing categories of quadrilaterals.  Gamma ones learned about the difference
