All-School Read-A-Long and PJ Party

It was an eggstraordinary day!

To conclude our "one school, one book" eggstravaganza, today was the egg drop and closing program. What fun! Grace and Addison's eggs made it to the final round for one last drop in front of the entire school. Leland was our class representative and told the audience about his prediction when we started The Enormous Egg. Ryan won an eggcentive prize for answering a trivia question correctly. Enjoy the pictures!

Magnetic or Not?

119 Days of School

"Hey, the gym has the same number of how many days we've been in school!" exclaimed Ryland.

Help

Does this look familiar? If your child cannot yet tie shoes, please work on this at home. It would be a great help as we are still transitioning from boots to home shoes to gym shoes...

Words of the Week

Each week we select a word of the week to add to our word work notebooks. The students have eaten this up! Words such as conversation, congested, and magnetic have be selected. Students break the words into syllables and try to spell each part. We know that each syllable has to contain a vowel. We focus on finding the base word, suffix, definition, and synonyms. Our favorite suffix(ending) by far is "tion." Your child may tell you that it's an oddball because it really sounds like = shun.

Fish Fry Winners

The last two sets of Fish Fry Friday participants were Noah, Ryland, Ryan, and Amelia.

Take Two!

Last Friday we attempted to create 3-D shapes in our math teams using pretzels and marshmallows. Oops, the marshmallows should have been gumdrops so we had a little trouble. Today we used toothpicks and marshmallows and it worked like a dream the second time around! The toothpicks represented edges and the marshmallows were the vertices. Ask your child to tell you how many were needed to create a cube, rectangular prism, and a pyramid.
