We had a terrific Tuesday! During math we learned a new game called Number Signs. We learned greater than and less than signs and equal signs. They look like alligator mouths eating the bigger number! Today we had Library and we read a book called Meet the Dullards. We learned two new vowel teams oa as in boat and oe in toe during reader's workshop. We learned the saying "When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking." During read aloud we read Fly Guy: Weather. We love laying down while we listen to a story in the afternoon.

We started our new science unit today. We are learning about what the universe is made of. Today, we talked about solids and liquids. Today we sorted objects including liquids, hard solids, and soft solids. Some examples include: wood, cotton, water. A solid does not make a puddle if you pour or drop it. A liquid will make a puddle. We mixed writer's workshop with science today! During Fundations we learned how the suffix -s can sometimes be put on an action word. We had fun playing with Geo Boards during choice time. Today during reader's workshop we got to sit anywhere in the classroom that we wanted! It made us HAPPY! During math we used Geo Boards to build shapes. Mrs. Drew taught us a new song in music today-the Fred Fountain song! During REP we did the LIMBO!

Today we got to go into the gym during recess because it was too cold outside. We ran three laps! We got to have scooters and giant balls to play with. We had fun during Library learning about change-saving money! Mrs. McGowan taught us about doubles plus one today during math. We started learning about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. After we read the story about him, we wrote down all the questions we have. We will try to answer them. We found out that Griffin's Birthday is actually the 18th! Opps!

We had Community Meeting today where we shared our song that we recorded-the doubles rap. During music we learned a new song where we had to copy one another like a shadow or a mirror. Yesterday was Griffin's Birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRIFFIN! We got an invitation from Griffin for his party, which will be on the 15th. During math we worked on more doubles plus one. During reader's workshop we learned about how important it is to share our feelings and thoughts about the books we read.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Today, during math we learned about adding doubles! For example, 6+6=12. We played a least to greatest game where we put some pretty big numbers in order. We read a math book called Addtron. It was about doubles and Addtron was a robot who lived in the world of Op. Philip pointed out that there were two versions of the book. Today we had Library and we did a great job. We had a nice day back together today!
