Monday Marvels!

Klara was our child of the day and she did a wonderful job reading The Gingerbread Man by Jim Aylesworth. She spent time in readers' workshop last week practicing her reading and it paid off:







We then went to the commons for a visit by the Bartlett Fire Dept. We learned about what to do in a fire: here is a video of what it sounds like when a fireman enters a house on fire. It can be a scary noise, but we now know it's the fire department. Listen to the sound:







After we left the commons we went to have our pictures taken. That didn't leave much time in the morning, but we did begin our stories about our treasures. In math, as a class, we worked on number sense and problem solving. Then, 1st graders learned more about the hundreds chart as we played a number sense game called Rolling for 50. 2nd graders used their calculators to discover patterns.

We did not have library today.

And, don't forget to READ....READ.....READ....READ....
