Today we started with math. It was a little bit different because we used M&M's in math! We counted them. We explored even and odd numbers with them. Then we subtracted them by eating them. Next, we went over doubles. 3+3=6, 4+4=8.... Then we created a little critter that has doubles facts on it's legs.....it was a SPIDER!!! Check them out in our window!! Then, we went to the computer lab. After, we took our Social Studies test. I'm sure we all did great! Then, in language arts we practiced making contractions, then we took our 'boards' to be surgeons....and then we had 24 WORD SURGEONS (including Miss C.) in our class. We would cute the 'i' off the is and then STITCH it together! It was a lot of fun!! Finally, we ended our day with Daily 5! What a wonderful day it was! I can't wait to see you tomorrow.....for PICTURE day and HOMECOMING!!!
Today was a great day for us! We did our morning meeting along with a review math lesson. We worked with math mountains, partner houses, and counting on. Then we did a language arts lesson focusing on vocabulary and punctuation. It was national Punctuation Day yesterday and we read a fun book called "Exclamation Mark." After this we read a fictional book about frogs. Then we got into center work. There we met with the teacher, read-to-someone, did a story starter about 'My Family," and practiced our robust and sight words.
We had lunch followed by a math lesson where we practiced counting on by being store owners and buyers. The boys and girls had wallets with money that they walked around with and 'purchased' items. They had to give the correct amount of change back.
We had some extra time to finish unfinished work before we went outside (to make up for not having computer today due to testing). Then the kiddos went to PE, followed by a read aloud and home! Wonderful day for us today :)
Tomorrow we are looking forward to another good day, with a substitute teacher in the afternoon.

Today started out great! We worked hard on math! We started with partners of 10!! 5 and 5, 9 and 1, 10 and 0. There are even more. Then we played a fun game that we love....MELON MONSTERS!!! After that, we worked with cards that have a number on one side and dots on the back. Have your child show you the rule with the dots on the back. Next we had social studies. Today, we talked about communication and we even communicated with a HERO!! Ask your child how and who we communicated with. Then, we were inventors and created our own phones. Some of the best phones were Bryce and Brock! Everyone's were great! At lunch, we had an unfortunate accident with Nolan and he had to leave. We are so happy to know that he is going to be ok though! All of us were pretty concerned, so we took some time to talk about it and we made Nolan cards. Get better NOLSKI!! Then we had phy ed. We played with the parachute. IT WAS AWESOME!!! After that, we worked with our new vocabulary words and one was PROUD!! We drew a picture of something that we are proud of. Most of us drew the American Flag! These pictures will be used at Homecoming on Friday!! Then, we learned about being WORD SURGEONS!!! Tomorrow, we will be performing surgery on words taking two words and making them into one. These are called contractions. Finally, we ended our day with the daily five. I hope everyone has a wonderful night.. I can't wait to see you all tomorrow!

Today was a beautiful day! We had a great day in the classroom. We started our day with Daily 5. We are getting really good at the read to self center. Everyone has been reading the entire time! At the writing center today, we drew a picture of ourselves doing something. We will be adding sentences to our pictures tomorrow. At the word work center, we played BOGGLE with our spelling words. Some of the words were a little tricky to find. We had music and library. In math today we learned about break aparts of 10 and we also learned about groups of 5 and extra ones. There is a letter coming home today explaining our math a little bit more. We ended our day with social studies. We learned about how people communicated in the past and today. Did you know that the telephone was invented 100 years ago? We hope you all have a happy night, see you bright and shiny tomorrow!
Today we did mornig meeting.After that we did language arts we are learning new robust words. We also made proud sticks. in math we learned to count on with our fingers. We played a new game called clear the board. we also practiced sight wards today. We also played capture the flag at phy Ed. We also went to music and we did patterns at music today. We had lunch in the middle of the day.
We finally had a normal day without MAP testing. It went wonderful and awesome!! In math, we worked with break a parts of nine and then we either made patterns or read math books. It was a lot of fun. After that, we learned about inventions. Someone had to invent a telephone. Someone had to invent a computer. Someone had to invent, in the past, a car. What are they going to invent in the future? Before lunch we had music. After lunch, we read a story titled ONE. Ask your child how Red made them feel. Then we reviewed our high frequency words. Next, we had library. Don't forget to bring back your books. Then we read the story Big Rigs as a class. You should hear the expression in their reading. I can't believe it. I can't wait to see you all tomorrow.
