Magnificent Monday

Today was our first day back after our SNOW WEEK!  Omega enjoyed playing in the snow while we were not in school.  Carly made a snow fort.  We started the day with Math Review and caught up on our measuring and perimeter activities.  Then we had a little catch up time. Judy Amber worked on her art. Before lunch we did Reading Workshop.  We started about Historical Fiction, and got new word sorts.  Most people, including Flying Shoe, also picked new spelling words.  After lunch we did read aloud.  Byron is in trouble because he keeps playing with matches, even though his mom told him not too.  We can't wait to find out what happens next.  Then we went to Music.  Link liked playing with the melody harp.  At the end of the day we did science.  We did an experiment to find out where water goes when it rains.  One cup with a wet paper towel in it has a lid, and the other one does not.  We will observe again tomorrow.  Panda thought science was really fun!  Bunny enoys doing the blog at the end of day!

Pictures!

We had a great Friday in Room 9!  Some of the highlights include:
*Noise Guy assembly this morning--Charlie the Noise Guy talked to us about how he can make all sorts of interesting sound effects with his voice.  Then he talked to us about the different types of clouds.  It was interesting and funny!!
*Reader's Theater--We have been practicing our scripts since before Winter Break and today we performed them for our first grade buddies.  Room 9 did a great job reading fluently, and we will be working on adding more expression for our next performance. 
*Computers--We did Xtra Math and Type to Learn today.
*Catch Up and Relish--We had fun playing games in our PJs.

Musical Monday

Today in math we read a story about a family vacaction.  We have to solve problems about how many miles they traveled.  Dempsey thinks he'll be able to solve them no problem.  Next we went to laptop lab to do Writing.  Some people were waiting to get their story fixed by Ms. K, we did xtra math, or Type to Learn.  Razorback did Type to Learn.  During Reading Workshop we got new Reader's Theater books.  Emma is in the Our New Home group.  Today in Read Aloud, Chester had a party with his friends.  Chester got his house all clean for the party.  Horse Girl thinks Chester is going to find another new friend.  In Music we had Talent Day.  Flying Shoe thought the audience were good listeners.  At the end of the day we did Art catch up.  Some people were done, so they did a reading, writing, or drawing choice.  Judy Amber helped file kids art into folders.  At the end of the day Emma shared her VIP poster.

Super Tuesday

Today was a great day in Room 9!  We learned a lot, while having fun at the same time. Gus learned how to figure out how many 10s a number has in Math Review.  In PE we did a fit test and Gymnastics Suit liked the free style station because he did a plank.  We started a new book today in Read Aloud called The Cricket in Times Square.  At the end of the first chapter the mouse named Tucker heard a strange sound and Bunny thinks it might be the cricket.  Today in science we learned about hot water and cold water.  Hot water expands and cold water contracts.  Ms. Bunny M thought science was fun!  Here are some pictures of us:
