What a busy day! This morning our question of the day was have you ever received a letter in the mail? We learned that more people in our class have received a letter that haven't gotten a letter in the mail. We practiced our song De Colores again, and will keep practicing saying tough words, like rainbow, spring, and little birds in Spanish. The green gators learned the letter P today, and Francesca is our letter expert for that word. The Green Gators today re-read their story about the plantains, and practiced finding the word we in their personal readers. The Red Rhinos read their story, Baa Baa Black Sheep, and practiced finding the words "the" and "little" in the story. We also had a visit from Fireman Dean, who helped us practice how to call 9-1-1 in an emergency, and what to say to the operator if we have to call. We learned that some of our friends need help at home practicing our address, so please ask your child to tell you their home address.
In the afternoon, we learned how to make staircases in math using cubes to represent the numbers 1-11 (Green Gators) and 1-20 (Red Rhinos). We did a great job counting and making our staircases. In Social Studies, we started sharing information about ourselves in Spanish, and talking about how we are similar and different from some of our friends. In Science, we started our unit on balance, and will be doing some fun experiments with different objects.
¡Tuvimos un día muy ocupado! Este mañana, nuestra pregunta del día fue: ¿Has recibido una carta por correo? Aprendimos que mas personas en nuestra clase han recibido una carta que personas que no han recibido correo. Practicamos de nuevo nuestra canción, De Colores, y practicaremos algunas palabras difíciles, como arco iris, primavera, y pajaritos en español. Los aligatores verdes volver a leer su cuenta de plátanos, y practicaron encontrar la palabra nosotros en su libros personales. Los rinocerontes rojos leyeron su cuenta, “Baa Baa Oveja Negra”, y practicamos encontrar las palabras el, la, y pequeño en la cuenta. También, tuvimos un visitante especial, llamada “Bombero Dean” que ayúdanos a practicar a llamar 9-1-1- en una emergencia, y que podríamos decir al operador si tuviéramos hacer una llamada. Aprendimos que algunos de nuestros amigos necesitan ayuda practicando su propia dirección, y por eso, preguntara a su hijo/hija a decirte su dirección de casa.
Por la tarde, aprendimos en matemáticas a construir escaleras usando los cubos entrelazados, para representar los números 1-11 (para los aligatores verdes), y 1-20 (para los rinocerontes rojos). Tuvimos un trabajo excelente contando y haciendo nuestras escaleras. Durante estudios sociales, empezamos a compartir información sobre nuestros mismos en español, y hablamos como somos parecidos y diferentes de algunos de nuestros amigos. En Ciencias, empezamos nuestro tema de equilibrio, y estaremos haciendo algunos experimentos divertidos con objetos diferentes.

My favorite part of being on the internet is clicking on this site each day to see what you have done. We enjoy reading it each day!! I know Marissa and Marcella are enjoying the class.

Thank you for all you do and thank you for coming up with this great form of communication!!!
