Tuesday, January 31

This is the last day of January. We're sad to see it go!

This morning, Mrs. Johnson's class came over, and we reviewed yesterday's lesson on mammals by reading "Mammalabilia" by Douglas Florian. We also introduced today's topic, birds, by reading "Molly the Owl" by Eric Blehm. It's a book about two common barn owls, Molly and McGee, that Mrs. Bruno's classes used to watch on Ustream. That camera has been turned off, though.

In math, we practiced our math facts by doing Math Magician. We also worked on a pictograph sheet.

After math, we discussed birds further. We said that birds must have feathers and wings. They lay eggs, but not all of them fly. Some flightless birds are emus, ostriches, cassawaries, penguins, etc. We checked in on Phoebe and read "About Hummingbirds: A Children's Guide." We also watched Mel and Sydney for a few minutes, as well as the Jordan Lake bald eagles.

We are eating snack right now and are headed to PE. We did our blog once, but had some type of technical issue and had to type it all over again. :(
