Hi Parents!

Here is what we did today!

We had library. We went to the computer lab. We read a book called Dad and the Dinosaur. In the story it was silly because the main character’s name was Nicholas. We played STmath, ABCya, and then we could pick anything we wanted on Destiny. (Elizabeth and Nick)

We had Daily 5 and we got to pick 2 choices. (Brendan)

We had writing. We talked about facts and opinions. We did a sort. We put the words on the right side at the learning rug and we did one by ourselves. (Yahna)

We had morning meeting and we did math workstations. We did the Pledge of Allegiance, the calendar, and days left in school. There are 7 more days until Kindergarten is over. (Kiernan and Kayleigh)

We had math. For math today we played a game called 2 more, 2 less. It was similar to a math workstation game but it had higher numbers. You roll a 12 sided dice. You spin the spinner. You get 1 more or 1 less or 2 more or 2 less and you cover up the number. (Sophia)

We did read aloud. We started the 4th Mercy Watson book. The name of the book was Mercy Watson Princess in Disguise. We didn’t finish it today so we will tomorrow. (Maggie)

We had Fundations. We used these tubs with stuff in them. We had to guess what it was. The tub had words that started pl or gl. They are called blends. We had fun. (Abigail)
