We started our day with our Special of the day, Phys. Ed. After Phys. Ed., we completed our morning work and went to morning meeting. Following morning meeting we had indoor recess because of the cold weather. After recess Mrs. Peckmann read The Meanest Doll in the World to us. Ask me where the dolls are and what their problem is now! Next it was time for reading groups. Mrs. Peckmann met with the books and letters groups today. After lunch we worked on our reading comprehension skills as we read a short story called Penguin Hill. We worked on predictions, author's purpose, most important event in the story, and making personal connections to the story. After that it was time for Math. We continue to estimate and measure objects in the classroom to the nearest inch and 1/2 inch. At the end of the day we continued to talk about celebrating the New Year. We actually designed 2009 party hats! Our homework tonight is Jumpstart 4. Tomorrow is Day 4. We have Music.
