Super Science Day

This morning we did Math.  In our Math Review we practiced our subtraction math fact strategy of Count on 1.  We learned about Problem Solving and then worked in groups of 3 to solve a problem.  Link thought that Math was really fun today and like problem solving.  Then we did Writing Workshop and we kept going with our How-Tos.  Lots of people have great things that they are writing about, and can teach people about.  Carly is writing about how to make cookies.  Then we did Reading Workshop and we are back to our regular schedule.  Omega loves reading books, so he always enjoys Read to Self.  Nadia is reading Harry Potter. After lunch we had music and got to play the harpsichord.  After recess we did science.  We put a blue ice cube in a cup of room temperature water and observed what happened.  Since cold water is more dense than room temperature water, the blue water from the ice cube sank to the bottom.

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:
