Totally not me!

Ok. So I might have been a little snappy yesterday but it is totally not me! By the end of the afternoon I discovered that their lack of listening skills, is the root of the problem. Mr. Potato Head is still empty and we've had a full 2 weeks to earn pieces. We will be chatting about this on Monday and will come up with a decision on how to fix this problem. I'll let you know how it works out and what we decide.
Our morning began with our first ever ADE Community Meeting. Ask your kiddo the point of the meeting and our first task that Mr. Higginbotham gave us. Hopefully they aren't too PUZZLED. :) Then, our schedule was even crazier when Mrs. Root decided that our class ended up a little behind and so she asked if she could take them from 9:20-10:20. At 10:20, we came back and created with LEGO's. We were going to read from Number the Stars but too many kiddos were here and there so we read a wordless book, Flora and the Flamingo. Do you know why flamingos are pink? Ask your child! Mrs. Norris came in to help us with Kidblog today--with editing and the conventions of our writing in order to get more blogs approved. To stay on track for the 30 book challenge, your kiddo should have around 8-10 blogs finished...how many does your child have? In Reader's Workshop, we finished up our work from the week, read independently and visited the library if it was our day. After a freezing recess, we worked on our multiplication with multiple digits. Then, we either played Crazy 8's or Bean Bag Toss to practice our basic facts. Hopefully, you've been practicing at home! Our day ended with a very stressful Science. For some reason, we are not thinking clearly when it comes to performing Science experiments. Students were using their hands to pick up and transfer sand...which caused the sand to go everywhere...the sink is now clogged with grass and dirt and the room is a big, icky mess. This is going to be something that we'll be working on Monday as well in order to continue to perform experiments.
