Yesterday was a long day being in school without my sweet little pups! But it made today a wonderful day! Picture day and all of it's challenges! I hope I "found" everyone's picture money. After several reminders this morning to check folders...I still found some this afternoon. We sent it to the office and I'm sure it will get to the right people in the appropriate amount of time!
This week we are going to focus on answering our questions about our SEA animal and starting our sloppy copy! During Reader's Workshop the pups will be using the resource books and the computers to find facts and then during Writer's Workshop they will use the facts to write about their animal! I will be pulling small groups during BOTH workshop times to work on this project. We will be reading and writing...I may not send home new books!
We continue to work on measurement in math. This week we will focus on weight...(Oh boy, one of my favorite topics...not) We will read who sank the boat and discuss why the boat sank.

Looks UH-MAZING to me!
Mrs. O'Hearn came in and talked to us today about what happens when we don't follow rules or talk in nice appropriate ways. To demonstrate she used pepper in the water as all the kids. Then a DAB of soap as the person (not so nice). The pepper moved away FAST...Then she added some sugar as the sweet person and the pepper was supposed to come back...GREAT GREAT visual! If you try it at home don't use to much soap!
TOP DOG
Have a wonderful evening! (Yes, we ran out of time and I forgot to give the spelling pretest AGAIN)! We will do it first thing tomorrow and I'll send it home! Words are on the I cans (right sidebar)
