What day is it???

Oh, my what a treat the three day weekend was...but I am glad to be back with the pups and back on some sort of schedule (no CogAT)!

We did try to squish Monday and Tuesday into our Spelling/Word Work today...Everyone should come home with their pre-test.

We read One Tiny Turtle to introduce nonfiction narratives.  We noticed that although there were a lot of facts in the book it was written as a story with a beginning, middle and end.

We then gave it a go on our own!  I love how these pups jump right in! 

 "One morning I woke up with a bright, big star shining in my window.  At lunch time when I played the sun goes straight overhead.  I skipped out to play with my sister without needing my coat.  At sunset my mom calls me to eat dinner.  The sky is getting dark black...and at bed time I got a chill."

"In the morning I woke up to go to school. I was so excited to go to safety town.  I got on my green t-shirt and my jeans.  I mad my lunch.  At school I went to safety town.  I go on the bus.  I saw my brother's school and my brother's Nadatoreon.  Safety town was not that far from the school.  We saw fire trucks.  We learned about safety.  Then we road the jeaps and I saw my dad."

In math we are reviewing problem solving, going over our shapes and how they are alike and different.  

Today's problem:

Owen has a large pizza with 12 slices.  He gives Eliette 2 slices, Aidan 2 slices and Samantha 2 slices.  How many slices of pizza does he have left?

And Science...we started living and non-living!  

Am I Living?

(tune: Are You Sleeping?)

Am I living, am I living?

Yes, I am, yes, I am.

I need food, air, water.

I can move and grow.

I do reproduce, I do have young.

Am I living, am I living?

No, I'm not, no, I'm not.

You don't have to feed me,

Air and water aren't needed.

I don't reproduce, I don't have young.
