During reading today some of the kids were ready to take their reading test so we got our our activotes. Some of the kids are also free to read on http://www.raz-kids.com/ and advance at their own pace. Read! Read! Read!
We are lucky to have Mrs. Straughan volunteer in our classroom. Here she is helping a group study their spelling test. Since the lab is closed for OAKS (3-5th grade) testing, we will be doing our test on paper this week.
We started a new chapter story today. We are reading "Marly", a book that JD bought for our classroom at the bookfair.
Each day we sketch and jot a quick summary of the story.
Mrs. Thorne came in and shared a wonderful story with us. 
TM and JC had the opportunity to role play an apology with the puppets.
Late in the afternoon, JC lost his third tooth! 
And to top off a great day...the High School brought us each a doughnut as a thank you for bringing in so many coats during the "Coats for Kids" program.
Thursday night is our Parent Club's Basket/Art auction. 
Each day we sketch and jot a quick summary of the story.
Mrs. Thorne came in and shared a wonderful story with us. We talked about how to say we're sorry. We learned that there are three parts to an apology.
1. Look the person in the eye and tell them that you are sorry.
2. Tell them what you are sorry about (be specific...for pushing you, teasing you...)
3. Ask them if there is anything you can do to make it up to them.
TM and JC had the opportunity to role play an apology with the puppets.
Late in the afternoon, JC lost his third tooth! He was bubbling over with happiness!
We both love the "window" it leaves in his smile.

Thursday night is our Parent Club's Basket/Art auction. Dinner is at 5:30 followed by the auction. I hope you can come.
Here is what to look for...our poems!
