Half Day

Spanish- Today, Ms. Joanne helped the kids learn how to perform their bull fighting demonstration. They will be performing this for all of the parents at their Mexican restaurant night! They have named their restaurant “Taco Fiesta”! In preparation for the big night, the students also designed signs in Spanish to be displayed in the school house. Keep working on those Spanish words at home!

Spelling- In spelling today, we discussed the spellings of each word in List 21. We chose a few of the hardest words and wrote them each in cursive.

Grammar- Today, we learned a new definition. Prepositions are words that show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence. We will be working for the few weeks on memorizing the list of pronouns. This will help the kids greatly as they begin diagramming prepositional phrases. We will be breaking the list into bits, but I did tell the kids that if any of them would like to try to make up a song to help them remember the list, they can work on it and present it to the class! The list of prepositions can be found in your workbook in Lesson 48.

Math- Today, we reviewed long multiplication. The kids were easily multiplying four digit numbers by a single digit number. We then played a card game where we made three digit numbers and multiplied them by the number we rolled on the dice. As all the card math games that we play, it was a hit!

The kids did an amazing job on Thursday with their water cycle skits! We are going to be making our “costumes” this Thursday, and then the kids will perform their work of art!

Last week, Ms. Joanne taught us about Kings Day, bringing in a Kings cake for us to enjoy. As it turns out, the person to found the baby Jesus was able to pick a fun thing to do. The kids decided that if I was the one to find the prize, that they should all be able to go to a jumpy place together. Much to my surprise, I was the one to find it! So... I am polling parents to see what the best time and location would be for our playtime outing. Let me know what would work best for you. Thursday 11-1:30 would work, or we could choose a day that we are not in class. Either way is fine!
