A Great Day!

Today we had a new fresh start. Mrs. Myers even moved our desks! We had a great day with our learning and our behavior. Our word of the day today was "little". It was a rule breaker and a rule follower, depending on how you say the word. The word "little" has a lot of extra letters. It is an adjective. It does not have very many words in it's "family." Later in the morning, we had guided reading and reading workshop. At 11:00, we played our Blend BINGO. Tomorrow is the last day for our Blend BINGO. Then it was time for lunch and recess. After recess, Mrs. Myers read a silly story called, Falling For Rapunzel. It was full of quotation sentences, but the author forgot to add tags on many of them. We brainstormed a list of tag words and added them to each quotation in the story. At the end of the story, we finished a paper by adding the speaker to the correct quotation and adding quotation marks. Our quotation marks hug the part of the sentence that does NOT have the tag. Then it was writing workshop time. We reviewed Letter Ed for the parts of the letter. We wrote our first letter to our pen pal. We will be writing the final copy tomorrow to send in the mail. We also learned how an envelop is addressed. At center time, we visited our fourth center and added the decorations to our mail truck. Then it was math time. Mrs. Myers read a story called It's About Time. It was a nonfiction book filled with facts about time and clocks. We learned a lot. Then, we used the giant clock to tell time to the half hour. We learned that the minute hand points to the 6 for a half hour. That is thirty minutes around the clock. The hour hand is not pointing right at one number. It is between two numbers. The number that is smaller is our half hour. We will play with clock s tomorrow at morning meeting! We ended the day with art!
