In math we talked about partners of 6. Some of them are 3 + 3, 5+1, and 2+4! We also learned a new term that is VERY important. EQUAL!! 2=2, 3=3, 1,234=1,234 After math we had a special surprise during social studies. Ms. Battaglia's class joined us! We started with finding out what we know about the first Americans. The things we knew were that they were alive, that they sang, that they were people, that they had a heart, and that they lived in our country. Then Ms. Battaglia read to us about the American Indians and we learned that they painted in caves, danced the Eagle dance, wore cloths and feathers, that there were 1,000s of groups, ate fish, squash, and corn, and they have traditions like us. We even got to watch an actual Eagle dance! It was cool!!! Next, we went to the computer lab to take our MAP test on math! We did great! After lunch, we read Noelle's favorite story and then we worked on our handwriting. We are all getting WAY better at that!! Next, we had phy ed. In phy ed we played freeze tag and rode scooters! It was super cool. After phy ed, we read a story about a little boy who just wanted to be left alone. It was because of a big bad bully. Ask your child what happened at the end of the story. Then, we started our drawings for a school-wide contest on a NO BULLY ZONE t-shirt. We will finish them tomorrow. Finally, we ended our day with the Daily 5! Ask me what my favorite center was today. It was a great day! I can't wait to see you all tomorrow!!
