December 11, 2012
Today was a strange day because there is testing in the building and our specials time has changed. We now have specials at 10:25-11:15. We have recess at the end of the day and lunch has not changed. This means the children are like OH NO what happened? They are adjusting fine, but it seems strange. we are having Holidays around the world and will be traveling to all the teachers rooms to visit another country. We are learning how these countries celebrate their Holidays and how they are different form America. We made it to Italy today, ask them what they learned? We had normal lesson in reading, writing, and math. we learned how to use contexts clues to figure out nonsense words and we completed are fairy tale unit on story elements. We then did our writing all about subjects by writing about our country we traveled to. We also had our math lesson using tables to solve story problems. They have a new problem to solve today, for CGI. We heard from our Top Banana Lidi, she loves horses, dogs, and cats. she thinks cats are better then dogs. We learned she was born in Hungary and wishes she could speak it. She also reported, "I sold my stuffed animals in a yard sale." She used to have nine chickens and we are excited to hear more from Lidi.

We had cafe reading and discussed fairy tale story elements, and will begin our context clues lesson tomorrow. We had writing and continued our how to topics and started discussing how to set up all about books. We will continue to revise and edit and begin mapping are all about books. We then began our lesson on patterns in a table, in math.

Riley, our Top Banana, shared his show and tell for his last day today on December 10. We saw his hockey puck from the Texas Stars game. This guy gave it to me at the game, even though he was an Aggie's fan and I am a longhorn fan he gave it to me anyway. He past it around so everyone got the chance to feel it. He then shared a medal he won at football, when he played for the team Dragons. He received the medal because he had a fantastic game and made a lot of tackles. He even said, "I caused a fumble." What a great player he is. The final thing he shared was his favorite book, The Adventures Super Dipper Baby. He reported he liked it because, "It reminds me of Captain Underpants." He shared his favorite part which was a two pictures because it looks like he is moving. He read his favorite part, and we go back to work. Thank you for your reign of king Riley, now for Queen Lidi.

NO LIE NO MATH NO SPELLING
We had a fantastic day, they are correct no math. It was a crazy kind of day, due to the programs we saw. It all started with the Nutcracker and your children were in the performance. They were shocked to be the ones in the play. Following this they immediately went to the author visit, OH MY AWESOME! They were both fantastic and I learned a lot form them. Then of course we came back to the room an wrote because we had the best ideas in our heads ready to write. I was pumped after seeing Phil Bildner and all I want to do was write. Please stay tuned for pictures, and ask your child about their day.I forgot top add Riley's Grandma came to visit because he was our Top Banana.

We had a fantastic day and we managed to get through our lessons.We are working on visualisation or mental imaginary, while reading. We are trying to picture the story in our head and record out what we see. We are using text support to prove why we changed our visualization. We continued to write our how-to procedural texts explaining the steps on how to create something. Ask you child what they have worked on in class. Some of them are on their second and third one. We took a break and went outside then came back and discussed money an dhow to count. Also what coins would make certain amounts. Then we had a treasure hunt and discussed magnetism.
