Ms. Mancusi’s kindergarten class read “The Little Red Hen on Stage” and “The Little Red Hen Makes Pizza” as part of the HMH reading program. The students compared and contrasted, determined the plot, acted out the stories and created their own Red Hen for each story. Each student dressed one of the hens in a 3D skirt depicting the plot. As an extension of the lesson, the students made their own pizza which included geometric shapes from their new math unit. Each student planned, counted and cut the toppings for their pizza. Some of the toppings included rectangle cheese, circle pepperoni and triangle peppers.

First graders in Ms. White’s class have been learning about light and shadows. During a science lesson, the students created shadow projectors from toilet paper tubes. They used their shadow projectors and flashlights to project shadows of various objects, such as shapes, letters, music notes and planes all around the classroom. The students projected their shadows on the ceiling, walls, floor, shades, under their desks and even on their classmates.
