Monday Musings

I left work an hour ago and my camera is sitting on my desk...so pictures won't be posted till tomorrow. Sorry about that!

Sahithi was our child of the day and read The Lion and the Mouse. What a great moral to the story. See if your child can remember.

We also had a Mystery Reader: Mashal's mother! She read three fun books: You Read to Me and I'll Read to You; Precious and the Boo Hag; and Don't Bargain with the Tooth Fairy. We loved all three! I'll post the pictures tomorrow.

We are gradually finishing up our revised gingerbread stories. We will publish them as both a class book and as a DVD. Today we learned that writers use describing words to make their story better.

In reading we learned that to infer (clues in the text plus schema) we also have to use the pictures and the words.

We worked on our new word wall words. Be sure and go to Spelling City and practice!

In math 1st graders worked on telling time to the quarter hour and 2nd graders learned about parallel lines.

Tomorrow we have library. Be sure and bring in your books.
