Hi Families,

Today we did calendar. I got to lead it. We decided if today was a lion or a lamb day. The saying about March is it "comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb." We have had more lamb days. We ate breakfast for lunch today. We did Friday journals. We did a math quiz, too. It was a short day.

Hi Families

Today we finished our phonic sentences for plural nouns. We read. I read The Haunted Library. I almost finished it. We wrote leprechaun stories and learned how to draw a leprechaun. We went to gym. We played bowling mania. In math, we did subtraction with tape diagrams. You had to make the number you are taking away into a nice group of hundreds. We also got to color some St. Patrick day drawings. Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!

Love, Suri

Hi Families,

Today we started phonic sentences about plural nouns. We also are learning about biographies. Today we learned about Rosa Parks. I learned that she started the Montogomery bus boycott. We did OREO opinion writing. The O stands for opinion, the R stands for a reason, the E stands for example or explanation, the O stands for re-stating your opinion. Math was hard today. We subtracted the arrow way. We had art for special. We painted a canvas.

Hi Families,

This week we have been reviewing addition and subtraction the vertical way with regrouping. It starting to get funner and easier. Kevin says, "I love math." We read fables. They are fictional and teach you a lesson. They have talking animals and are short. In writing, we have been doing opinion writing. Yesterday, we had to write about why the Tenney ROCKS. Josh said because of Nacho Grande in the cafeteria. All week we have been learning about Dr. Seuss. Today was mismatch day in honor of his book Wacky Wednesday. We wore clothes inside out and different shoes. Today we watched the Lorax with Mrs. Hudon and learned about Green Eggs and Ham and Hop on Pop. We designed socks creatively yesterday for Fox in Sox day and wore crazy socks.

Joshua and Kevin

Hi Families,

Today we did math on white boards. We did subtraction. For example, we solved 200-87=? It was tricky, first you had to decopose a hundred into a hundred into ten tens. Then, you had to decompose one ten into ten ones. Then you could subtract. We talked about genres -- which are different types of books. Some examples are mystery, fairy tales, biographies. In writing, we wrote about whether we prefer recess or lunch. I prefer recess.

Love,
Krysta

Hi families,

We did math today. We had to do take-away. If we had 1-9 in the ones, you had to go next door to the tens and break it up into 10 ones. We read The Frog Prince and we had to figure out the main characters, the setting, and the problem and solution. In writing we worked on our letters about our favorite characters. I am writing about Greg from Diary of the Wimpy Kid. We are also learning about contraction words like we'll is we will. We had art today and we read Chinese words and we learned how to say them.

Hi Families,

Today we learned to do three numbers and four numbers addition. For example, 52+68+95+25. We had to make tens to solve. We also have a mystery vocabulary word for the week. Today the clue was it is a six letter verb. I think it is seeing. In writing, we wrote opinions about our favorite characters. Mine was Darwin from the Amazing World of Gumball. For reading, we are still doing fairy tales. We worked with a partner and read a script about Cinderella.
