Hi Families,
Today we planted a seed. We are reading the One and Only Ivan. Ivan lives in a mall like you go shopping in. We got to do Friday free time at the end of the day if we earned it. We played games. We did equal groups in math. We talked about odd and even numbers. Even is when you can split it into two equal groups. Next week is appreciate your teacher week. Wear blue on Monday because it is Ms. Petzold's favorite color.
Love, Rhianna

The week of April 28th, 2016
Hi Families,
We have done a lot this week. In writing, we did plant flap books. We had to write a paragraph on plants. I focused on the parts of a plant. We also did math. In math, we are learning about arrays. They have rows and columns. We can write repeated addition sentences. Which is the beginning of multiplication. We are starting to learn about habitats in science. We read an article about habitats. Then, we retold the article to see what we remembered. We are going to get to learn all about a habitat and do a presentation on it. We started reading a class read aloud called The One and Only Ivan. It is about a gorilla who lives in a mall. The gorilla is telling the story in first person.

Hi Families,
This week we got a new Smartboard for the classroom. For phonics, we -ight words and -igh words. An example is light in "Shut the light switch off, please." Then we got to go on the Chromebooks. We did Xtramath and Lexia Core 5. Then we did morning meeting. Eric was our person of the day. Then we went to music. We sang an Earth Day song. Then we went to snack in the cafeteria. I had cookies n' cream pop tarts and a blue koolaid. Then we were reading. After lunch, we did math. We did work problems about arrays. We got to our lesson on the new Smartboard. It was an outstanding, awesome day.

Hi Families,
First, did our phonics sentences this morning with -igh and -ight words. Then, we went to morning meeting. We did animal toss greeting. After that we did plant work. We had to glue the parts where they belong on our flap books. After that, we were reading to self. My group finished our book club. We were reading the second Magic Tree House book. We also kept working on our plant experiment. We are seeing if seeds will germinate without soil in plastic bags with damp paper towels. We planted them on Friday. They have roots now. We wrote down our observations in our lab report. After that we had indoor recess. We could draw or watch the Magic School Bus. Then after lunch and specials, we did math. We did arrays with columns and rows still. The definition of an array is items arranged into rows and columns. We did a lesson with teddy bears talking about rows and columns. At the end of the day we reviewed parts of a plant and read a non-fiction book on roots.
Have a good day!

Today, we continued to learn about plants. We discussed the parts of a plant (leaves, root, stems, and flowers) and their purposes. We had to draw arrays with certain amount of rows and columns. Then we had to draw either a horizontal or vertical line to show the rows or columns. We also learned about homophones. A homophone sounds alike but have different meanings and spelling. Too, to, and two are examples of homophones. We finished our biographies. We did a scholastic news about blue honey. It happened in France. The bees were drinking the M&M syrup instead of nectar from plants. We also went to a firefighter Phil assembly. He did magic tricks and taught us all about fire safety.

Hi Families,
Today we stayed inside because it was raining. We did arrays and talked about rows and columns. We worked on finishing up our biography projects. Our biographies are due by tomorrow. We read an article about the leaves. The oxygen that we breath is made by plants, and they take in the carbon dioxide we breath. The green part (chlorophyll) sucks in the sunlight to make their own food. We also worked on updated our KWL chart on plants now that we have started to learn all about them.

Hi Families,
We did more stuff about plants. We learned they need sunlight, water, soil. We also did a paper on the differences between what they need and what they have. We did the one minute greeting. In math, we repeated addition which will help with multiplication next year. We did a book on subject and predicate. Subject is who or what is doing the action. Predicate is the action being done by the subject. Check out our books subject-predicate we are bringing home!
