Cydney shared her poster and had thirty people in her house for Thanksgiving. She stated, "They were sleeping all our the house."  Her dog died of being in the sun too long.  She told us she was born on February 2, 2005.  WOW! her birthday is about to be here, can't wait to hear all about it.  Also she said, "This happened before I was born."  She demonstrated some dance moves and she looked cool modeling it for us. Her favorite singer is China Ann McClain.  Her favorite animal of all time is the monkey.  She went to Sea World at the water park she told us, "I had to wear a life jacket because the water was too deep." 
I am sorry about CGI math, it was funny to hear them tell me about my crazy mistake.  Thanks for letting me know, you all keep me on my toes.

Reading still poetry and creating mental images in our head. 
Math 2 digit addition and why we should try other strategies besides draw circles. We should show models of groups of tens not ones.  they seemed to love trying to write haiku's ask them to explain?  Then we completed our day with our Native American unit and discussing how Christopher Columbus made a mistake and discovered the wrong place and how the Indians are now called Native Americas, interesting how their minds light up when they hear something about history.
