Nov. 24

 Hello everyone!

We were so excited to see the snow yesterday! We got a chance to play in it during our second recess, and again today. Please make sure we are dressed properly for the weather so that we can enjoy our outdoor time. We also talked about some rules for the snow: snow stays on the ground (no throwing snow or snowballs at school), no eating the snow because it could have germs and dirt in it that might hurt our tummies, and no sliding on the hill because the fence is no fun to crash into! We did a great job following our snow rules today during recess. 

We started our day with some time to work on a family portrait that we started yesterday afternoon. We have been talking about how families can be similar and different during social studies. We will use our family drawings to help us talk about our family with our classmates. 

Next, we had a morning meeting where we handed out our Pillars of Care awards to prepare for our assembly in the afternoon. We filled in our calendar, practiced the months of the year song, and counted to 100 by 1s and 10s. 

We used the sentence starter "I hear..." to write a new journal entry today. Ms. Byrne played a mystery animal sound from her computer, and we had to write "I hear a _________." and try to spell the animal names. We sounded out 3 animals together as a class using bubblegum writing. Then, we wrote a fourth sentence all on our own. We had fun using animal sounds for our journal, so we might try another entry like this next week!

After snack and recess we had some Mathletics time on the iPads. We tried signing in on our own again, and Ms. Byrne showed us how we could get to the secret world once we had earned enough points! We worked hard to get access to that world today. 

In the afternoon, we had some movement time in our classroom since we would be missing our P.E. time for the assembly. We practiced our letter sounds. Then, we started a mystery sound game in science. We will finish our game tomorrow because it was time to start the assembly! We're nearly finished learning about our sense of hearing. Next up will be sense of touch!

Finally, we had our Pillars of Care assembly. When it was over, it was time to get ready for home!
