Welcome Back!
WOW! What an awesome bunch of little dragons...
Two days back and we are right into our routine! Don't forget tomorrow is LIBRARY DAY!
Yesterday we discussed past, present and future. We had several pictures of different objects that we were sorting into the above categories. At one point I told the kids that if they have NEVER seen anything like it before it probably belongs in the future! OOOPS...Their past consists of only about 6  years ago! LOL
In keeping with this topic we read Mr. George Baker today by Amy Hest.
"That's Mr. George Baker,
and he's a hundred years old,
no kidding."
Fantastic book...tomorrow we will be talking about the "past" and discussing WHY Mr. George Baker, who is 100 years old, no kidding,  didn't learn to read and is going back to school now!

At lunch time we got to use our FIRST coupon! Eat lunch in the classroom! Almost everyone "cashed" it in!




The big question was...
Are we going to have silent lunch in here too?

We went on a shape hunt during math time! We were able to find LOTS of squares, rectangles, and circles...The rhombus, and triangle...not so many!
Emily was SUPER detective...she did find a true rhombus!  We found some squares "standing" on their corner that we "thought" were rhombuses!

Let's collect some data

Here are a few that we found...




A square or a rhombus? You be the judge!
