Joey reported he played baseball, on a team called the Royals. He shared about his family and he said," The annoying one is my sister." He likes to watch TV and his show that he enjoys watching is the Superheroes Squad. He likes Iran man the best on the show. He loves to draw and he loves it because he likes to hang the collections of his drawings on the wall. He likes school because he loves to read. We enjoyed hearing all about Joey today.
We will Have our class party at 12:30-1:45, then they will go to specials. We had a normal day today. We had reading cafe time. we created reindeer journals to bring home over the holidays to practice our writing. Then we started math and worked on number sense. We worked on expanded notation and how to work with numbers in the hundreds. We discovered it is like counting by ones but they are just bigger then Ms. Wolfean Claus gave us extra recess for being nice!!

A parent emailed me today asking about the class book we created. If you would like to purchase one because you thought they would receive a free one. The form asked for a code found on the back of the book. Here is the code, 1492730 thank you Mrs. Fica for bringing it to my attention. I love trying to stay on top of things, but sometimes I just get busy. Today was back to normal schedule as usually, but we had Holiday around the world again. They only travel at the end of the day after all learning work was completed. We had Reading cafe and sorted words by their suffixes and prefixes. Then we learned in math number sense using hundreds and completed a money test.
Joey is our new Top Banana, and we saw the end of Lidi's reign. We did not have time to hear from Joey because I forgot about our world travels. I will move sharing poster this week to after lunch, and we will double up tomorrow to make up for today.

We completed our fairy tale writing about the story elements. Ask your child about the difference between a fiction book elements and fairy tales? They should be able to communicate this to you. We had lunch and recess, but recess was again at the end of the day. We did travel to a new world make sure to let them explain about our new country of Israel?
Lidi shared part of her show in tell because she forgot to bring her other item. She even left her favorite book at home. she will bring her other items on Monday. She brought a hallow stick she discovered at her Uncle's front yard. She found it because she was playing with her dog in the sandbox. "When my dog shook the sand off of himself, I looked down and saw it."

We had another testing day and our specials was again at 10:25. Are recess is at the end of the day, because of the 3rd 4th and 5th graders testing. We had CAFE reading and began our day discussing context clues. We use strategies or clues from the story to figure out a nonsense word. Please ask them what strategies they use? We then had writing, but we did it in the morning as we arrived because we are writing about our subjects we know a lot about, our countries we are visiting. Please ask them what they are learning about? We traveled to Venezuela, and they made a craft. I hope you all are enjoying it? I know I am awful, because we forgot, well ran out of time to do Lidi's poster. However, after recess I squeezed in a little and we will finish tomorrow. Please stayed tuned for more on Lidi.

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.
