School Picture Day by Tyler Today was our first day back after a long break for the students.  We started off today with a quick class meeting.  We practiced taking turns talking and sharing one sentence about our weekend.  Then we went straight to work.  We reviewed our school rules, our class rules, and we did our spelling word of the day "discovery".  Most people used a "c" instead of a "k" when they heard the "KA" sound in the "cov" syllable.  I was really excited today with how many people finished all three sentences for their introduction for a story about "How to make a famous discovery".  We doodled a butterfly and had math.  In math today we talked about adding digits and numbers.  Which one of the two has value?  Does a phone number have value?  We looked at place value charts and how to draw our base ten blocks to represent numbers.  We also did a quick practice quiz on listening to numbers.   Why do we not use the word "and" when we say numbers, like "three hundred and forty seven"?  After recess we had language arts with Mrs. Hill.  How is your stamina coming along in the daily five?  We also did a five finger re-tell of our weekend. Do you know what the five fingers and your palm are supposed to remind you to write?  After lunch we went outside to take a school picture infront of the building.  Then we came in and did some mindful breathing with Mrs. Mckenzie before gym class with Mrs. Hache.  I saw lots of colored jersey's, hockey nets, and soccer balls.  What did you do?  After gym we finished off the day by talking about Remembrance day, doing our book of gratitude, getting our agenda's signed, packing up and going home.  Tomorrow is hot lunch, bring your money if you want hamburgers. Get lots of sleep and I will see you tomorrow!
