Hi Families,
Today we learned a lot! We made a glossary for our animal books. A glossary is something that tells people about some words. We learned about number charts. In phonics, we learned about consonant blends. A consonant is any letter that is not a vowel. Ours all have the letter r in them like brown or cry. We made number chart puzzles at the end of math.

Magnificent Tuesday - December 8, 2015
Hi families,
Today we did our phonics sentences for morning work. We are doing -ew, -ue, and -ui words this week, they say "ooh." Then we went to the rug for morning meeting. We have been in school for sixty-four days. In writing, we worked our information books. We wrote about different kinds of our animals. First, we did dolphins as a class. Then I learned about different kinds of foxes -- the gray fox and the swift fox. In reading, we learned about how characters feelings change, like a roller coaster. We read Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse. Her feelings went from happy to sad to guilty to happy again. We also provided evidence from the text to show how we could tell her feelings changed. The math work was very hard today. We were comparing numbers but they were not all written in standard form. Some were written in expanded form and word form. Stewie the elf was sitting on the sink today.

Hi families,
Today we drew pictures about our phonics words to show there meaning.
Stewie the elfs hiding spot today!
Our shared writing about Dolphins. Students independently researched predators of their animals and wrote a paragraph about it.
Comparing numbers - one of the charts from our lesson.
Today we drew pictures about our phonics words to show there meaning.
We wrote about the predators of our animals. My aniaml is penguins. There penguins are seals, sharks, and killer whales.
We started comparing numbers. 420 is greater than 320 because 4 hundreds is more than 3 hundreds. 450 is greater than 410. The hundreds is the same, 450 has more tens than 410.
We went to outdoor recess and lunch. Then we went to P.E. After that we did a math sprint.
Love,
Keilyn
Here are some pictures Keilyn took:
Comparing vocabulary we will be using throughout the module.

Terrific Thursday - December 3, 2015
To families,
Today and yesterday we did math sprints. We try to get as much right as possible in one minute. Then we correct them, and we do another one we try to get even more than the first time right. Today, the numbers were written in expanded form and we had to write in standard form. Yesterday, they were written in unit form and we had to write them in standard form. Today we worked on word problems in math. In reading, we had to work with a partner. We practiced finding the problem and solution in Curious George books. We organized desks and informational books that we are writing about animals.
Tonight is light the night at 6:30. We're going to light the big tree in front of upper school. We are going to get free hot chocolate, cookies, and a free book -- if we are there! We can also show our families our classroom -- even Stewie, our elf.
Love,
Lillyana and Krysta :)

Stewie the elf was being an acrobat today.
Our tree of kindness. Each time a child is being caught being nice in December, they get a light bulb to write their name on to put on the tree.

Hi Families,
Today we did more place value with hundreds, tens, and ones and our place value discs. We had art. I got to do math games on the tablet because I was person of the day. We learned more about verbs which are action words. We wrote about someone who lights up the Tenney. I wrote about Charlie. We made a light bulb to go with our writing.
Sincerely,
Matthew

Hi Families,
Today we cut up our place value disks. In writing, we are writing about where our animal lives. My name is Odanny and I am researching about hippos. They live in salty rivers and waters. We got an elf that is watching us to make sure we have behave. His name is Stewie. This week for phonics we are learning about long u words. They say either "u" or "oooh" like a mule says "u". A mule is a kind of donkey and looks like a horse. We read Clifford and looked for problem and solutions in it. We will be doing this by ourselves tomorrow. On Thursday night, we will be having Light the Night (at 6:30) please come! Have a good evening all dads and moms.
Sincerely,
Odanny

Stewie has arrived!
We are working on a class informational book on dolphins the students can use as a model for their own independent books.
The prefixes we learned about during November. This is a school-wide initiative to build our language skills.
This is our page from today. All students wrote about where their animals live.
We also read Clifford Keeps Cool. We discussed the problem, steps the character takes to fix the problem, and the solution. Students will be expected to do this tomorrow independently, as we have practiced this skill several times as a class.

A Perfect Wednesday! Wednesday, November 25, 2015
Hi families,
Today was a great day because we had so much fun. I got to use Ms. Petzold's iPad. I am playing Stack the States and learning about the capitals of each state. I also played Sushi Monster. It was so much fun. It is a math game where you have to add. We did math and we did a math. The test went good but it was also very hard. We wrote letters to a special person in our family, but shhhh they are a surprise! We had so much fun today. Happy Thanksgiving!
Love,
Noah

We wrote notes to family members today to let them know how grateful we are for them. Also in their home school folders are grateful books the students have been working on throughout November. Please take a moment to read through their grateful books -- each child found so many things to be grateful for.
iPad fun -- favorite class apps: Sushi Monster (math app) and State the States (geography/social studies app)
