A Cloudy April Fool's

Today was April Fool's Day. Mrs. Myers fooled the buyers today, because she told us the cafeteria was broken and wouldn't have any food. We believed her! Miss Hartlaub, our helper, read Arthur's April Fool. Mrs. Myers read us April Foolishness. Our word of the day today was "old". It was a rule breaker, because the "o" said his name without any help. Today's word was an adjective. The -old family was popular. We wrote the words on the "old of gold". We went to music for the rest of the morning. After lunch and recess, Mrs. Myers read the story, It Looked Like Spilt Milk. First, we read the top 100 phrases as fast as we could using expression! Mrs. Myers timed us, and it took 4:37. We practiced reading the story in correct phrases. Then, Mrs. Myers gave us each a page for the book. We practiced adding the phrasing marks the way we wanted to read it. We read it to two friend and Mrs. Myers. Ask me to read the sentences to you tonight with great phrasing and expression. Next, it was time for centers. We visited our third center. After we finished our center for the day, we worked in our groups on our weather forecast reports. Then, it was reading workshop time. Mrs. Myers met with the robot group. Then, it was writing time. First, Mrs. Myers reminded us of the story, It Looked Like Spilt Milk. The clouds in the story all looked like something else. Mrs. Myers gave us blue paper. We folded it in half and Mrs. Myers splattered white paint on it. Then, we folded it and pressed it. When we opened it, we had to decide what our cloud looked like. We wrote about it using adjectives and smiles. Then, we filled out a writing plan. Tomorrow, we will use the plan to write a story. At the end of the day, Miss Anderson came for a guidance lesson. We reviewed solving problems. Check out our guidance paper in our folders tonight! Mrs. Myers was happy that she didn't get fooled all day! Watch out tonight, though!
