Another busy day. I always tell the students that I love making mistakes because its how we learn.  I made a big mistake today when I was trying to update our green homework books and ended up making a royal mess of them all... so no calendar work tonight.  SORRY!! Even the teacher makes mistakes.  In math today we reviewed Attributes, repeating and increasing patterns, and talked about our "Counting on" strategy on our number lines for when we play " Around the World" with flash cards.   We reviewed the 5 parts of a narrative in Language Arts, and Mr. Lange took us on a virtual tour of the worlds largest pillow fight!  Our borrow a book program starts tomorrow night so please check the book bags tomorrow for leveled reading books (I'll talk about that more in Thursday's Agenda Note).  ON A SIDE NOTE - Despite today being an overall very good day, unfortunately I had a couple of upset students at the end of the day today.  Even though we are still learning the classroom routines many of us are finding it difficult to distinguish between finishing our work and playing, and finishing our work and choosing a responsible choice.   It is now the third week of school and we have talked about responsible choices and not making noise when others are working or when the teacher is talking.  Since our transitions wasted so much time today we will have to practice for the first 5 minutes of recess tomorrow.  For those who are upset, remember even if you understand you need to give a friendly reminder to a classmate!  We win as a team!
