Thursday

Science Night!  Tonight Robertson Cafeteria 6-7:00pm!  Looking forward to seeing lots and lots of PUPS!

Today we went outside to observe the sun at 8:30...Well...
Look at my little scientist...
And...look at the sky! UGH no sun this morning!


This was yesterday at 12:30. 
We will give it another try tomorrow morning and afternoon!

WRITING
The scientist worked in his room. Good sentence but not form my PUPS!  We brainstormed some "moods" scientists get into...curious, excited, confused, and frustrated.  Then we bubble mapped scientist (adjectives) unusual, mad, weird, creepy, funny, focused, careful, and nice!  I just love thier vocabulary!  Tomorrow we will think about some places that we might typically find scientist working and then put them together to create our SHOW don't Tell sentences.  I can't wait!  Feel free to give your pup a simple sentence without a lot of sparkle and let them BLING it out!

SPEAKING OF BLING...

Look at this!!! Thank you to my SWEET Isabella! Had I know I would be getting such a beautiful piece of jewelry...I would have gotten my nails done!  I love it! Thank you, Thank you!
READING:
Both in read alouds and guided reading we are working on our inferencing strategy.  Schema+text=inference. We are finding that authors often show not tell and that is when we inference how the characters are feeling!

MATH:
Continuing to look at addition and subtraction patterns.  Today we worked on how many ways we could make the sum of 10.  This is something that you can do with your pup at home. Pick a sum and let them create as many number sentences has they can.  Or you can get them started and see if they can continue the pattern.  12+0=12, 11+1=12...

Hope to see everyone at Science Night. Ms. Weinke and I will be a 'Can Do Magnets'!
