We had a good Friday! We finished up our lesson 8 center work and lessons. Then we had time before lunch for some fun friday group games ("What's on my Back," and "Silent Ball.") After lunch we had music followed by a math lesson on make-a-ten and equation chains. We had computer followed by a choice by the kids to carry over their turtle time in hopes of earning 25 minutes for a PJ party, and instead working on a conference art project.
Enjoy your weekend!
Today we started out our day reading the book Llama, Llama Misses Mama. Some of us are missing our moms at school so this was a great book to read as a class! Then, we went right into science. We finished our science poster for the human body. We will be teaching the class about our system next Tuesday (Monday we will be doing the Veteran's Day celebration). Then, we worked on math. Since math was so challenging, today was really easy! We all FLEW through the subtraction word problems. It's amazing to see how much they have grown in math! Keep up the hard work. This weekend movie will be a lot of fun. Watch it as soon as possible. Then we had phy ed where we played capture the flag. Some of us need to practice not sliding. We had a few injured capturers at the end of class. This afternoon was great. We read with our third grade buddies, and played the game sparkle. Then we took our spelling test. Next, we finished a movie that we had started on our inside say this week. It is called The Mouse and the Mayflower. Finally, we ended with Cmart! I can't wait to see you all on MONDAY! Have a wonderful weekend!
Today was a productive day. We did our language arts lesson intermixed with week 8 testing. We took our spelling test as well.
After that we did a few things on the smartboard before getting into new daily 5 centers. Here, they listened to a story and had to pick out 4 facts from it. They worked on writing by doing a "Who Am I?" mystery story. They did word work by choosing words from the word wall to write in creative ways (rainbow write, leave out the vowels, etc).
After lunch we took our Unit 2 social studies test. We are now ready to start our next unit on government.
We had Music and PE today. After PE we took a break for snack and got some unfinished work done. Then we did math. We are starting Unit 3. This unit focuses on solving change plus and change minus story problems. We work on solving collection and comparison story problems, and we solve story problems with extra or hidden information.
We had RTI time and then we packed and stacked!
Enjoy your evenings.
Today was the best day! We are finally back into our routine. I was gone for a few days because I was home sick. We had reading and Daily 5 right away this morning. For word work we drew a picture and we hid our spelling words in it. At the writing center, we drew a picture of a real or make-believe animal and we asked our animal three questions. Some of our questions were silly! We have been doing a great job with our writing. We have all grown so much! We watched a movie about the Book Fair in Library today. After lunch, we had computer. Then, it was time for science. We are learning all about the human body. We all have our own groups. We worked in our groups today and drew pictures of the important things that dealt with our specific system. Ask your child which system they are in. Our systems are Circulatory, Skeletal, Respiratory, Nervous, Digestive, and the Muscular systems. We are having so much fun learning about our body. Next week, each group will teach the class about their system. I can't wait to hear what they have learned. We ended our day with math. For math we played a card game where we had to find the unknown partner. This game will be coming home tonight in your child's folder. Have them play it at least once. I'll see you all tomorrow!
In math today we worked on taking away or subtracting. We are doing great with it. Carli was even gone yesterday but knoew to watch the movie. So she was right with us today when she got back! THAT WAS AWESOME! Our centers today were working with Miss C., working on challenging patterns, mega math, working with Bryce's mom and making subtraction word problems on the iphones. Today in science we learned about the human body. We started our posters of our systems. you should see the circulatory's poster! All of the posters are looking great! Then, we had music where we learned all of our Christmas songs,. They are really funny according to Ethan. Next, we worked on nouns. We made some pretty silly stories about Justin Bieber and Mr. Potato Head. Mr. Harker even had quite the adventure. We also practiced adding the letter s to the beginning of words. Finally, we ended our day with the daily five. Tonight's movie is a little more challenging. I walk the kids through all of the problems. Just try them out! I can't wait to see you all tomorrow!

Today (and yesterday! I got locked out of blogging), went really well. We did language arts and daily five centers followed by a little social studies in the morning. The boys and girls made a crafty project of themselves at home, on their street, in MN, in the u.s, in the world, etc. It turned out really well.
After lunch we got right into math. We took our unit 2 test followed by some time to finish up odds and ends. Then we had computer and snack. We finished the day with PE.
Enjoy the sunshine!
Today during math centers we had Bryce's mom here to help. She read us the story problems that we made last night when we watched our movie. Tonight you will watch 3.6. Our other centers were practice with math mountains, mega math, and making word problems on the iphone. Next, during science we worked on our human body some more. We tried to watch brain pop movies but it didn't work. We are going to try again tomorrow. Instead, we continued to look through books. Next, we had music where we watched the rest of a whale movie. It was an awesome movie. Then, we practiced some songs for our Christmas program! After lunch, we had recess where Brock, Michael, Max, Nolan, John, Isaac, and Ethan had a great game with Brock's football. Thanks for bringing it Brock! Then we learned about Michael and made his WORDLE. Next, we read Cookie's Week and Cookie did not have a great week. It was pretty rough! Then we practiced our high frequency words and then we wrote sentences about details. Then we finished our book about sea monsters riding motorcycles. In phy ed we started cup stacking. It is challenging but a lot of fun. After that, we practiced nouns. Miss C would ask us for certain nouns and then we would read a story with those nouns in them. (Kind of like madlibs) Then one of our sentences was we are going camping in the bathroom. We ended our day with the Daily 5! I can't wait to see you all tomorrow to read the book about the Haunted Hotel! We are loving mysteries! Don't forget to watch movie 3.6.
Today during science we had Miss Battaglia's class with us. Miss C told us that we are going to split up into groups and learn about a certain system in the human body. There are the skeletal, nervous, digestive, muscular, circulatory, and respiratory systems! We then had a twenty minutes lockdown drill. The kids did a great job, but have to work on staying quiet. During math today, we practiced word problems with two kids making pancakes. Then we cut out new cards to practice with at home. After lunch, we made turkeys! I can't wait for all the parents to see them at conferences next week! After that, we practiced our new sound th and highlighted it in our books. Look for that book in their bag tonight, Then, we learned our new high frequency words. Keep on practicing them at home! Finally, we continued writing what we are thankful for. Tonight, during your movie, find your own piece of paper to recycle to use while you watch tonight's video. Great job on whispering to me what I did wrong last night! I can't wait to see you all tomorrow.
