Wednesday

Today in music, we had a substitute and we played The Old Gray Cat. We played Down by the Banks in morning meeting this morning.  We had a test in math on geometry. In reading we finished the book Crickwing which was about cockroaches. We had the last day of math WIN groups in the morning. After lunch and recess, we finished Trumpet of the Swan! In writing workshop, we worked on a special project and then worked on our stories. We ended the day with a story about butterflies.

Tuesday

We had math in the morning today! Today in PE, we made mini-golf courses. At science with did new drawings of dragonflies and other insects that have symmetry. During math stations, some people stayed in the classroom and some people went out of the classroom to different places. In reading we read Crickwing and wrote down our questions. Today was awesome!

Monday

 Today in morning meeting, we had quite a few people share. That seems to always happen on Mondays! We wrote Weekend News and did Writing Share. After snack, we went to the computer where it was really cool! We typed up our writing benchmarks for Mrs. Griffin. We also illustrated them so we can put them in a book. In reading, we worked on the workboard and started to talk about the strategy of questioning. Some people met in reading groups. After lunch, we read aloud and then in math we talked about flat surfaces and curved surfaces.  We did a scavenger hunt around the classroom looking for objects that have flat surfaces and curved surfaces.  At the end of the day, we fit in some science with insects.

Homework went home today. It is due on Monday.
