Here is what we did today!

We read a book called Mercy Watson Goes For a Ride. (Nathan)

We played a Mercy Watson game. We played the matching game. (Chase and Vedant)

We had Fundations. We had magnet boards. We did nonsense words! (Lauren) We practicing tapping and building silly words!

We had science. We looked inside of a bean! We saw a baby plant and the baby plant food. The food for the plant was called the food storage. We got to peel off the seed coat. (Claire, Charley, and Anthony)

We had Daily 5. (Kaela)

We had music. We did the parachute. (Izzy and Ella McClary)

We had writing. We labeled a bean and we got to make a bean. (Ishaan)

We did math. We took away numbers. We counted how many there were left over. (Aidan)

We talked about STOP with Miss Pence and Miss Miller. (Daniel) This is a problem solving strategy. We discussed talking about the problem, talking about our options, and then picking the best option to solve the problem.

We made an iMovie and posted it on my YouTube channel about living and non-living things! I took the pictures from our nature walk yesterday and recorded some of the kids explanations of why the item in the picture was a living or non-living thing! Enjoy! The link is also posted on our class Twitter account!
