2 Guests in our Room Today!

Today was a day 2 in our schedule and we did not have a Special, but we had 2 guests. We started our day with morning meeting. Following morning meeting we played with the long o sound in our Spelling words and sorted words according to how the long o sound was spelled. Ask me the different ways that I can spell the long o sound. (oa, ow, o-consonant-silent e, etc.) Also ask me what an oddball word is. Following our word study work, Miss Anderson, our school guidance counselor presented a lesson on tattle tales. We learned when we should approach an adult about something and when we should handle it on our own. After recess, we took a mid-year writing assessment so that Mrs. Peckmann could see how much we have learned in Writing this year. Next it was time for lunch. After lunch we read silently for a short time and then we had Math. In Math we learned all about perimeter. We practiced finding the perimeter of labeled 2-dimensional shapes. After Math, Mrs. Thomas came to our classrroom for another fluency lesson. We concentrated on reading text in quotation marks with expression. At the end of the day Mrs. Miller introduced us to our community mapping unit. We took a pretest so that we could show Mrs. Miller how much we already know about mapping. Our homework tonight is a letter to President Obama. Tomorrow is Day 3. We have Phys. Ed.
