Good Afternoon!

We had such a great day today.  We started a new unit in reading!  After a great- but serious unit in nonfiction- we have switched gears to reading about funny characters.  We will do a lot of character study this month.  Today we read the book "Hooway for Wodney Wat."  It is so funny, but delivers an important message.  The book introduced some great vocabulary words including rodent, barged and uncomfortable.  We talked about how characters change over the course of a story.  Then we wrote letters to the main character.  All of the characters in the book are rodents which explains the science homework for tonight- bring a picture of a rodent.  One character was a capybara!  We watched a science video about this giant rodent!  In math we are working on counting money and today we introduced the half dollar.  We did two new letters in cursive - g and o.  We are nearing the end of the lowe case alphabet.  When we finish I will teach each child his/her name.

Spelling- sentences 1-8

Wow!!! What a busy, busy day!!!!  The students will tell you we were go, go, go from 8 am to 2:45, nonstop!  We did patterns and word problems in math and we reviewed for the test.  We finished - as in we all PUBLISHED- our penguin reports.  We did a science penguin project and we also did a fun penguin craft.  I put everything on the hallway bulletin board after school and I strongly encourage parents to take a walk down and look if you are in the building.  The work is VERY impressive.  I am so proud of everyone!
