April 30, 2009

Happy last day of April! This month flew by!

We started off the last day of the week with our dialoge journals, and word study- look, say, cover, write, check. Then, considering we do not have school tomorrow, we took our spelling test this morning. They ALL did very well!

After our spelling test, we did our mourning meeting, and went into writing. We started to brainstorm ideas we can put into our autobiographies. Today we started to come up with words that describe "what i look like" and "where i live." They seemed to really enjoy writing about themselves!

After a short writing session, we went into reading workshop. Today we read "Franklin is Bossy", revisited the chart of adjectives we came up with that described franklin, and we went back to our seats and wrote a reading response. Most of us thought he was very bossy in the beginning because he was telling everyone what to do. At the end we thought he was appologetic because he realized he was wrong, appologized to his good friend, and was a better person.

We got all 4's in lunch today and went outside for recess. I did not realize it was supposed to be so warm outside!

We came back inside, glued our words in our word study notebooks, and got ready for science. In science we "mowed" our lawns to show the change that is made to the plants and how different it looks now. We will be starting a new experiment soon.

Math was a bit short today. Senorita Wesleys side continued playing the games in spanish and Miss Ras's side counted blocks by 5's to see how many it took to get across the rug- 120! It was a lot!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and I hope it doesnt rain!
