Hi Families,
Today was a busy Thursday. We went on the chromebooks. We did xtramath and lexia. We wrote opinion pieces. We read I Wanna Iguana. It was about a boy who wanted an iguana. He was trying to convince his mom to get an iguana. We read Cinderella and talked about the characteristics of fairy tales. It had a lot of characteristics. We also talked about how Cinderella felt at different parts of the story. We finished our phonics sentences with r-controlled vowels, -er, -ir, -ur and they all say "-er". We did a math test. It was really hard. Have a good day!

Hi Families,
Today we did phonics sentences about r-controlled vowels. -er, -ir, and -ur all say "errr". After that we went on the computers and did xtra math and Lexia. Then we went to music class. After music and snack, reading teachers came and Ms. Petzold read with groups. After that, we read Scholastic News about a groundhog named Ms. G. She is the state groundhog of Massachusetts. We had indoor recess and lunch. Then we went to library. After library, we did an afternoon meeting. Then we did math. In math, did a review in math of addition and subtraction strategies. Tomorrow we have a math test.

Hi Families,
We started learning about fairy tales today. They sometimes start with "once upon a time", animals talk, animals sometimes wear clothes, they often have the numbers 3 and 7 in them. We read Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We are starting opinion writing today. We learned about Groundhog Day -- it is tomorrow, February 2nd. We read a book called Groundhog's Dilemma about whether he picks spring or summer. We made predictions about if he will she his shadow. More classmates thought he will see his shadow, which means there will be six more weeks of winter. In math, we solved subtraction problems. Some of us drew place value chips, some did it all in heads. We also practiced on white boards first. Now we are going to go play a game until dismissal because we were good listeners today.

Hi Families,
This morning we finished our unfinished work and one team was doing there lab report. Then we did morning meeting. I was the person of the day I did the calendar and the greeting was the high five greeting. Then we worked with the computers for a little while, after we went to snack. On the computers we did Xtra Math and we did Lexia and some people did Front Row. After, we had to read a paper about tigers. We read it then we had to underline information about the tiger and answer questions. Then when we came back from lunch we went to the computer lap with Mrs. O'hearn. We did a sound project then did typing tour which teaches us how to type and stuff. We came back and did pirate math. Then we did a math lesson on subtracting hundreds. Then we did a quiz on minusing two-digit numbers. It had six questions. After that, we did Friday free time. I read a book, other people made ramps for cars like our lab report, and some people got to use iPads, and Jenga, and a whole bin of games for us to play. Have a good weekend!

Hi families,
Today we had a mystery reader. Can you guess who? It was a woman. She is a teacher. She used to teach second grade, now she teaches fourth grade. Last year she dressed up as Elsa from Frozen for our talent show. It was Mrs. Bisenga! We took a big math test. It was easy. We used computers and a group did a lab report. We read a Scholastic News on Snow Leopards and talked adaptations. An adaptation is when animals are good at surviving in their own habitats.

Hi Families,
We did math today. We are working on subtraction with tens and ones. Sometimes we had to cross out a ten and break it apart into ten ones. I did awesome and earned a Show What You Know ticket! We also computers. We did Xtra Math you do math facts on. The other thing on computers was Lexia core five. It helps us learn stuff and we have to sound out words and do fun stuff on Lexia Core 5. We had double specials and it was music and media. At media we got to check out books and we got to draw a picture. We watched a video on Class Dojo on the TV called A Secret About the Brain. It taught us to never give up and you have to make your brain get stronger by trying again and practicing.

Hi Families,
Do you want to know what we did today? I'm going to tell you. We did phonics sentences this morning. We are learning wh words like whale. Today we asked questions with wh words like what and which. Then we did morning meeting, and after that one group got to do there lab report with cars. My group did not get to do it yet, we will hopefully do ours soon! We then did snack. After snack, we talked about text features. Ms. P taught us how text features help the reader learn more. Then we read. Then we did a cutting and gluing activity with glossary and index. We had recess and lunch and art. We drew a landscape in art. In math, we did subtraction with decomposing tens. It was really hard.
I hope you have a good day.
