WHEW! Wednesday...

BOOSTERTHON tomorrow...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't forget to put your SUPER pup in his/her Fun Run t-shirt. They were sent home last week! The number of laps are recorded on the back as they run! So...if it is chilly then a long sleeved shirt will be needed UNDER the t-shirt!
Feel free to come out and support your pup and all the SUPER pups from 8:30-9:30 tomorrow morning.

Andre the Giant came in today
I CHOOSE a GOOD ATTITUDE! (hopefully the video will upload)
We are at 67.00/lap! WOW




WRITING:
I am one tired teacher. BUT a happy one!  These pups CONTINUE to UH-maze me!!! We started our morning adding details to my writing.  Then I sent them off...now all of them are in different stages of this process but I just love watching them write! Today we had several in the conferencing stages...there was a bit of editing for some but everyone worked for the 20+ minutes so hard.  I EVEN had two of my girls finish.  I just finished typing up their books.  They will get to choose covers and illustrate tomorrow and we will have our first set of published books!  I am so excited I can hardly stand it!
I am going to wait until we have finished projects before I post pictures!


READING:
We reviewed Arthur's Computer Disaster and then retold it from our flow map.  (I do have video...but You Tube is not cooperating right now.)
Then everyone sequenced their own story and color coded it beginning, middle and end style!

TOP DOG:
Our top dog wasn't here today!

MATH:
And problem solving...they blew me away!
The problem was...
There were 3 girls with their feet in the pool. There were also 2 boys with their feet in the pool. How many toes were in the pool!  (CRAZY multi-step...but nothing is too much for my SUPER PUPS) I told them there were different ways to solve this. (thinking in my head 2 ways...adding 5s or adding 10s) And sure enough they found other ways! I LOVE the 30+20=50...I told them I like being wrong when it means THEY are UH-mazing!
Well...videos are still uploading to You Tube and I've been up since about 3:00am...I need to go home! I will add them at another time!  Hope to see you all tomorrow!
