.....since we've written in our blog (no school last Friday due to extreme cold weather). This week, there was no school on Monday to celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. day. Tuesday was an exciting day, as it was the inauguration day of President Barack Obama! It was fun to watch as he took the oath of office and officially became the 44th president. What a historic moment to watch the 1st African American president take office! In Math this week we've continued working on our multiplication facts. In flex reading groups this week we traveled to Mrs. Bricker's room to learn about context clues. In Reader's Workshop this week we focused on character traits. W
e read
I Hate English! and focused on Mei-Mei's character. We also read
The Wolf Who Cried Boy which was a twist on the Traditional Literature folk tale
The Boy Who Cried Wolf. It had a lot of witty jokes in it and we definitely recommend it. In Science we began learning about the Respiratory System, which is the system of the body that brings oxygen in an removes carbon dioxide from our bodies. We learned that when we breathe in, it's called inhaling, and when we breathe out, it's called exhaling. Oxygen is the one gas our body needs to stay alive! After learning about the parts of the respiratory system and what happens when we breathe oxygen into our bodies, we were able to color and cut out lungs/trachea to glue onto our mini-me paper bodies! We will continue learning about the different systems of the body. On Thursday we did
Project Recycle for the 2nd week. We love being responsible for collecting the recycling
for the entire schooL! We will try to take pictures next week so you can see us in action! We do a very good job sharing the responsibility and working together! Today we did a project with our online buddies in the morning and made SNOW with our Kindergarten buddies in the afternoon! We had a great day! Speedy is staying at Kennedy this weekend....no field trip for him! Hope you all have a great weekend!
