Tuesday Tidbits

Well today was full of interesting tidbits.  We celebrated a birthday, got take home Tuesday papers, started planning for a class book, and enjoyed outside recess.  In reading we spent some time talking about real and make believe.  Our big hint - animals don't wear clothing.  In math we spent some time working on word problems.  We have been using pictures to help us to solve our problems.

I will be getting reading logs on Friday.  PLEASE make sure they are in the folders.

Busy Days

I hope everyone can be forgiving.  I wear a lot of hats at KGES and at home.  These past several weeks have been over the top busy.  Today for example I was scheduled to be in three places all at the same time.  I finally made it home tonight around 7:20 pm.  It was a very busy day and for the most part very successful.

On a school note, we celebrated a birthday today for one of students, tried to go to the computer lab (which was closed for benchmark testing), and practiced writing our numbers up to 50.  While it was a very daunting task for some students, a lot of them took the challenge and pushed all the way to writing up to 100.  We also learned about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  Our students had wonderful conversations with one another about the changes he made possible. 

Hope to get back to more regular blogging in the next few weeks.
