Thursday, November 3rd

We started our day with our morning devotion talking about not giving false testimony against our neighbors.  We talked about how our words can hurt others.  We need to work on using kind words.  I had each of the children turn to the person to their right and then to their left and tell them something nice.  We all agreed how great it made us feel.

In math we got out our math boards and secret code cards.  We built numbers, practiced expanded form and drew our proof drawings.  Then we worked more on 2 digit addition with our page in the book.

The children checked out new books today in library.  They were excited with their choices and couldn't wait to read them!

Our letter for today was the uppercase E.  Check out our two friends who rocked it out on their handwriting!

In science we made food chains using colored paper.  The yellow represents the sun, the green represents the grass/tree/plant, the brown represents a bug and the red represents the top of our food chain.  Ask your child what they made their food chain!  

We also talked about who are the predators and who are the prey.  Then we watched our favorite show!  THE MAGIC SCHOOL BUS!

We explored the half note today through movement.  We sang a song called "Jubilee!"  We walked on the quarter notes, jogged on the eighth notes and did the slide for the half note that last 2 beats.   After we said chugga-chugga on the eighth notes, choo-choo on the quarter notes and toot on the half notes.  The children had fun today in music.

Over in Mrs. O'Meara's room for Weekly Reader they read about Beavers on the Go!
