| I guess I DO like to find ANY excuse to wear THESE :) They DO brighten my blahhh day after all ...what brightens yours?!? |
Don't soggy, rainy days just make you want to crawl back into bed, pull the covers up over your head, and sleep the day away?!? They sure do me...I always get kind of a blahhhhh feeling- a bit melancholy, ya know? Okay, maybe you don't feel that way, but boy, this rains really makes it tough to get our kiddos to let some energy out during the day!
 |
| Do YOU have something that brightens YOUR rainy day?!? |
Anyway...I guess I do get to accessorize accordingly and well, we all know I LOVE to do that! Also, our Cameron FINALLY got back from his gymnastics competition in Orlando, Florida! It was so cool hearing about his journey and how amazing he did while competing there!

READING:
we again got to go through ALL 3 of our reading rotations! On Tuesdays and Thursdays, groups do not get in book clubs to do their literature circle roles, but rather get in their groups and do a project on the concept of the week using their chapter books they're reading. Since our concept is the skill of comparing and contrasting, groups were either comparing and contrasting two characters in their chapter book -OR- were comparing and contrasting the setting of their book to the setting of the world in which we live in today using all 5 of our senses. That particular one turned out to be a REALLY cool chart!

| Here's Hootie getting some exercise! We put her in this ball EVERY morning so she can 'workout'. |
Independently, students finished reading the coinciding story, "Cook-a-Doodle-do" (sooooo....funny, P.S.) from our Treasures books that emphasizes the focus skill of the week (comparing and contrasting), and completed their brochures from yesterday AND began responding to 4 different short writing prompts. These are really fun and interesting prompts and only require a brief response. I think the students are really enjoying completing them!
HOMEWORK: complete the first FOUR writing prompts from the Unit 4 Daily Writing packet and the first FOUR only!! ALSO, you spelling test is TOMORROW so study, study, study...AND complete those packets! Thank you to those of you who completed an additional "spelling tic-tac-toe" activity...you are getting some extra credit for doing so!!! Whoop whooooop!!!

| Here's FRED. Fred is our collector of nickels for when you need a pencil! He says, "FEED ME!" but you should probably try not to! |

CONGRATULATIONS to McKenna, Skyla, Daniel, and Cameron who have made our As on the final multiplication test so far! We are so proud of all of you!!!HOMEWORK: NONE...EXCEPT...play some of these math games!!! Yes, I AM telling you to PLAY for homework...so take FULL advantage!
PM activities:
we continued working on the group ORQs about fossils that we began working on yesterday. All groups are doing amazing jobs and I am absolutely blown away by all of our knowledge of fossils! WOWza!!!
Visit this COOL site to play some Science games on the concept of YOUR choice...HAVE FUN!!!
Although not any groups were finished with the Science ORQ, we had to end our day :(
