Today was a great day! We began the day with math. We started out commenting on a post on KidBlog. Then we practiced telling time and figuring out elapsed time. We used a t-chart to figure out elapsed time. Elapsed time means how much time has gone by. In the middle of math we had to take a break to participate in "Jammin' for the Record." We all had to exercise at the same time to break a world record. We did all different exercises for a minute while listening to music on the speaker. Then we went back to finishing our math. This afternoon we had literacy. Mrs. Bahl's class joined us as we read a chapter of "Jake Drake, Bully Buster." Jake's problems with Link, the bully, just keep getting worse! In art we continued to work on the trees we are making. After art, we read an article about invertebrates from National Geographic. Invertebrates are animals without backbones. In fact the animals we read about have no bones at all! While we were reading we worked on monitoring our comprehension, leaving tracks of our thinking on our think sheets as we read. Then we did Daily 5. You may have noticed that we didn't have physical education today. Mr. K was not here this afternoon, so we are going to have P.E. first thing tomorrow morning.
