Busy, Busy Day!



Alyssa read The Little Red Hen to the class today. She read this traditional tale because it teaches you a lesson: "You have to help others if you want them to share with you."


We also had a Mystery Reader today. Simi was surprised by her mother and her little sister. She read a favorite of Simi's when she was a little girl: Chase That Pig! Simi will be a big sister again in July and she can read the book to her new baby brother or sister.

We had a busy day. We worked on inferring character traits during reading. We added 5 new word wall words: just, know, called, where and most. Then we worked on our word work quilts. In writing we talked about what revision means and then finished up our Harris Burdick stories.

Seniors in math worked on subtraction using base ten blocks and juniors wrote their own number stories.

Don't forget tomorrow is our trip to the Chicago Storm. Remember to pack a lunch in a paper bag with your child's name on it. Full directions went home Friday.
