Wednesday Wonders!


Giorgio was our child of the day and did a wonderful job reading Seagull is Clever. We were able to connect the meaning of the word clever with our reading later in the day, Sly Fox and Red Hen. Great reading, Giorgio!

In writing, we continued to work on writing persuasive letters. We each completed a graphic organizer to helps us organize our reasons. Tomorrow we will look at these again and identify the most important reason.

In reading we finished the book Antarctica. We learned that when we delve deep into a book that sometimes we are left with lingering questions that need further research and/or conversation.

We worked on our new vocabulary words this morning also.

In math we counted our Lincoln Pennies: $23.96!!!!

First we each made an estimate of how much we thought we had. Then we divided up into groups and counted the pennies. Then together we added the totals:








Because of every one's generous donations, I will be sending a check for $25.00 to the National Park Service to preserve President Lincolns home in Springfield. We voted unanimously to preserve his life and legacy. Thank you!!!
