Happy Birthday, Jorja!

Mmmmm...Candy Corn!
In Science today, the question was:  Will a pototoe change when we bake it?  So, in order to answer this question, we had to bake pototoes, and yes, we found out, they do change.  One thing we know for sure, is that they taste WAY better baked and topped with butter and sour cream!

A note is coming home today regarding the "Home-School Partnership Project". Please check either the "consent" or "no consent" and return it to the school no later than Friday.

In Math today, we estimated and counted a group of 67 pennies.  We used tallies to keep track of the pennies as we counted by ones.  We then used the tallies to count by 5s and 10s.  We also used Ten Frames to place the pennies on.  We made 6 groups of 10 and 7 were left over.  We had 67 pennies in all.

In Language Arts, we captured a Monster In A Jar!  Students drew a detailed monster that they will be using to focus thier next writing project on.

Snap! Crackle! Pop! Rice Krispie Squares!

This morning we followed the instructions to make a batch of Rice Krispie Squares, we saved them for dessert.  They were scrumptious!  The marshmallows were so gooey when they came out of the microwave!  Next, we followed our instructions that we wrote to build our own sandwiches!  We had so much fun making and ESPECIALLY eating our sandwiches.  Thanks to all the mom and dads who helped to make sure that all supplies made it to school - everyone was very prepared!  I suggested to the kids that they are now pros at sandwich building and can help make lunches at night!  A few figured I had a master plan.....

  • Library tomorrow
Congratulations to our up and coming Yoga Actress, Deleani, who was featured on a lunch hour news station with her Yoga Family!
