Boy it's great to be back in school. We had a great learning day today! We started the morning with our morning meeting in English. We helped write our morning message and completed our daily math routines. Todays question of the day was did you watch the ball drop on New Years Eve. We learned that their was a greater number of people that did stay up to watch the ball drop and to ring in the new year. After morning meeting, We learned the proper way to address an envelope for the mail. We learned that your return address should go in the left-hand corner, a stam should go in the right-hand corner, and the destination address should go in the center. We then used what we had learned about addressing an envelope to address our envelopes that would hold our flat stanleys. We were excited to finally send our stanleys off in the mail. Be sure to tell your friends and family that they are on their way! After we sent our Stanleys off, we made our New Years resolutions. Ask your child what they resolved to do in school during the year 2010.
We started our afternoon with a non-ficition read aloud on the Water Cycle. We sent up an experiment...we filled a glass jar with water and set it on the windowsill for the night. Then we made predicitions about what would happen to the water over night. Talk to your child about what they predicted would happen to the water. In math the red rhinos learned about estimation. We learned that grouping objects (especially by 10s) would help us make better estimations. The green gators practiced word problems with subtraction and took a Quick Quiz. We ended the day with another science experiment. We explored air using syringes and tubing!
