This morning we red Gus and Grandpa.

We had an incredibly busy day today!  From the moment we walked in until the bell rang this afternoon (actually a few minutes AFTER the bell rang), we were going non-stop!!!!  I think my favorite part of the day was when we were working on our balance and weighing science unit.  What GREAT scientific thinking we were doing today!  Good job, kids!!!!!

10-22-13

by:  Clayton

We came and did three word propiums.Than Alix came to read
to use.

We began addition with regrouping today.  It went very well.  We used the long branching method, but we'll decrease to the short method over the next few days.  I think we'll grasp the addition with regrouping very quickly, but subtraction may present a little more of a problem.

We had two great opportunities today.  Mrs. Bruno's homeroom got to learn a math game to share with our Peachtree friends next week.  Mrs. Johnson's homeroom had the chance to teach Mrs. O'Brien's class how to branch addition and subtraction problems.  We had a lot of fun with both!!!

10-16-13

This morning, we had the opportunity to go to art team.  We almost finished our newspaper Husky heads and collage backgrounds.  We also worked on cards for Mrs. Schmitt and Mrs. Glover.  We came back and went to Mrs. Johnson's room while Mrs. Bruno did math intervention.

During math, we practiced addition and subtraction branching.  Congrats to Lake, Trace, Tyler, Jaqson, Colin, Will, Carson, Caroline, Harper, and Jivone for PERFECT papers!!!  YEA!!!!!  Everyone else understood the concept, but made careless mistakes.  We're really trying to cut down on careless errors!

We had a great science lesson after our word problem.  Lots of people asked fantastic questions.  We're excellent scientists!!!!  : )

Our day ended with A PIZZA PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Yum!!!!

We had a very full day.  We played Scoot for the first time today.  It was lots of fun!!!!  We also named and described the four most common types of clouds.  We went outside and observed and recorded data about the clouds we saw.  We're learning lots!
 

Happy Monday!

At the beginning of the day, we came into the classroom and silent read.  We copied spelling words and wrote spelling sentences.  Then, both classes got together for our phonics lesson before we headed to PE.  After PE, we had our language lesson with Mrs. Johnson.  We did writing workshop where we worked on our personal narratives.  We were supposed to see an e-book, but the LCD projector was going CRAZY.  We discussed our new comp sheet for centers and homework.

Then, we headed to Mrs. Bruno's room.  We learned some cool 9 shortcut tricks to help us answer addition and subtraction problems faster!!!!!!  We worked on branching, then went to lunch and recess.  After recess, we did a word problem and headed back to our homerooms!!!!!  : )

Friday, 9-27

I forgot to publish Chaney's post Thursday afternoon, and we didn't have time to write Friday afternoon.  Sorry I'm so far behind!

We did centers all day Friday, taking a Socrative.com quiz, rolling/writing/comparing three digit numbers, working on branching with Mrs. Bruno, and practicing our subtraction facts with flashcards.  We were busy, but had fun while we were working!  Thanks to Mrs. Wideman for helping with morning centers!!!

I'd like to thank all of those who were able to attend our outing to Peachtree Thursday evening.  We had a great time and hope to have even more attend next month!

This morning we cama in and did our moring work. We went to Mrs.Johnson's room. Then we went to P.E.

We had another great day.  We did some addition branching problems together in our binders today.  We also did a science word problem.  In science, we discussed the water cycle and learned the words evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. 

Wednesday, 9-25

by:  Addison

this moning we worked on moningwork. Then we went to art.

Today was one of  the best days in second grade so far.  Our attention was fantastic, our behavior was fantastic, and we learned LOTS!!!  We began adding two-digit numbers in math today.  We worked with base 10 blocks and learned how to branch.  We'll be practicing this for MANY weeks!  We also did a science word problem and learned that Mrs. Bruno would allow us to do our own complete sentences, model drawings, and number sentences without the blocks to write them in now.  She modeled how she wanted us to do them.  The word problem lead us into our new science unit about the water cycle, weather, and clouds.

What a great day it was!!!!

Tuesday, 9-24

by:  Cooper

We came in and did our morning work.Then we did math and  since We went to Mrs. Johnson for language.

Thankfully, today was a much more normal day for us.  We actually accomplished all that we needed to do academically!  Yea!  Math was fun today!  We played Aerobic Place Value.  We did our last science activity with liquids.  We'll fill in our KWL tomorrow and journal, then we'll be done with solids and liquids.

On an even brighter note, the ELMO saw the tech doctor today and was HEALED!!!!  We can now zoom in and out, and even focus!  The students do not have to squint to see the little print, and Mrs. Bruno doesn't have to prop everything up on a plastic basket to get it closer to the document camera!!!!  We are happy campers this afternoon!  THANK YOU, PALMER!!!!!

Monday, 9-23

by:  Jaqson

  We came in and did spelling sentences.Then we went to Mrs.johnsons room.Then we went to muisic.After that we went to PE.We did the readallow.

What a day we had!!!!  Mondays are always crazy because of our schedule, but today was KILLER!  Not only did we have the craziness of Monday schedule, but we also had a fire alarm.  It wasn't a planned drill, but everything must have been okay because we were allowed to come back in after about 15 minutes.  It was a little warm, but I reminded the students that it could have been worse . . . it could've been last week when it was 92 degrees outside!!!!!!

Hoping for a MUCH calmer day tomorrow!  

Friday, 9-20

by:  Tyler

This morning we did silent reading. Then we learned about maps and globes.

We took a chapter math test today.  Everyone did well!  : )  We also did centers today.  Centers, however, did NOT go so well.  We had a hard time listening and following directions.  I think Mrs. Bruno wanted to cry!  :(

Mrs. Bruno hopes everyone has a great weekend!  She sent us off doing "The Burger Dance," so it was a good start to the weekend!

We discussed our "Doubles + 1" strategies again today.  They're the hardest strategies we've learned so far, so they'll require a lot of practice.  We worked on putting numbers in order from least to greatest and greatest to least. 

In science, we moved on to liquids in our matter unit.

Have a great afternoon!

This  monning  we  did  monning.  Work  we  went  to  Mrs  Johnson  room.  We  tok

Ah, early Monday . . . can't get anything finished.  We had a great day today, but it was rushed and crazy!  Mrs. White was observed in Mrs. Johnson's room today, so we didn't combine like we normally do.  (Although, who am I kidding, really? What is "normal?")

We had great fun in science today, applying what we know about the properties of solids to build towers.  Our competition was to see who could build the highest tower.  We had some great entries!!!!

Today, I began letting the students blog, instead of me.  You'll see some major growth in our ability to add details and speed with typing as the year progresses.  Be patient for the time being, though, the blogs may be a little shorter than you're used to! 

Have a great afternoon!!!!!

Friday, 9-13

What a very busy Friday we had!  We had specials this morning, followed by PE.

For math, we went to the red hall computer lab to take a state computerized test called Global Scholar.  Mrs. Bruno was very impressed with our scores.  We also compared properties of solids in a Venn diagram and journaled about our experience with science this week.

In Mrs. Johnson's room, we did centers and learned about publishing our "I Like to Be Little" pieces.

This afternoon was our very first Friday Freeze!  YUM!!!!!!

Thursday, 9-12

Mrs. Bruno has morning duty in the gym this week, so we're stuck with her even LONGER than normal!!!!!  : )

This morning, we came in and read silently for about 20 minutes.  Then, we headed to Mrs. Johnson's room and read The Leaving Morning while Mrs. Bruno had math intervention.  We discussed good beginning, and we're hoping it makes the beginnings of our stories better! 

After PE, we finished this week's Math Magician and worked on comparing numbers.  We reviewed how to read > and < signs.  We also glanced at our homework so we would know how to do it!  We learned two more properties of solids:  transparent and opaque.  We also looked at our solids in the baggies again and listed each solid's properties.

While Mrs. Johnson taught reading intervention, everyone came to Mrs. Bruno to watch BrainPopJr clips.  We saw a "Counting On" clip and a "Doubles" clip.  We love Moby and Annie!

In language arts, we had flex checkouts and made idea bubbles in writing workshop.

We're hoping our parents will continue to blog back to us!

Wednesday, 9-11

 

For morning work, we read StoryTown to review for our reading test.  We also did something new called Doodleloops.  This is where we are given an abstract picture and have to build a scene around it.  Then, we write a story to go with it on the back.

Next, we headed to specials and PE.

In Mrs. Johnson's room, we took our reading test and finished Doodleloops.  We also read library books.

After lunch and recess, we switched classes.  In Mrs. Bruno's room, we practiced double facts to our little dude who sings to us!  : )  We did a tricky science word problem and Math Magician.  Then, we did science . . . yea!!!!!  Today, we talked about properties of solids, describing four specific ones . . . flexible, rigid, rough, and smooth.  We also learned "science bad words" for properties.  Mrs. Bruno said that describing solids with words like "big," "little," "good," or "bad" were awful choices!!!!!  These words cannot give you information about a solid!  We learned better words to replace them, like comparing sizes or smells to objects everyone knows.  We observed several examples of solids and picked out which ones were flexible, rigid, rough, and smooth.  We'll learn even more properties tomorrow and observe the solids again!  Mrs. Bruno can't wait for her Friday surprise for our solids and liquids unit!!!!!

Tuesday, 9-10

Some of us had Paine Primary Singers today. Others of us did word problem morning work. We went to Mrs. Johnson's classroom for vocabulary practice. After PE, we started a brand new unit called "Solids and Liquids."  We did a K-W-L chart to see what we already knew about our new science topic.  We're very excited to be doing science.

In math, we used Base 10 blocks to build numbers with partners.  We also worked on "Solids and Liquids" word problems.

In Mrs. Johnson's room, we prepared for tomorrow's test on Arthur's Reading Race.  We'll do great!

Mrs. Bruno is looking forward to seeing all of our parents at Chat Night tonight!!!  :)

Monday, 9-9

We worked on spelling sentences this morning. Since we also had lots of time to work on them in Mrs. Johnson's class, we hope that no one will have to have homework! After specials and PE we went to Mrs. Johnson's room and read Arthur's Reading Race. We did our vocabulary lesson. In math today, we learned two new games. One was called the Jumping Game, and the other was using a hundreds chart to add and subtract to find secret numbers. We got our last word problem for communities. We were supposed to have a compliment party, but our VERY forgetful teacher left our sugar cookies on her kitchen counter. We sure hope she doesn't eat all of them tonight!!!!! : )

Friday, 9-6

Happy weekend!!! : ) Today's morning work was all about numbers and math. We practiced standard form, sketching, expanded form, and number words. Mrs. Bruno introduced our math centers, and we got to do them for the very first time. We also talked about neighborhoods and learned lots of map skills. We took a spelling test in Mrs. Johnson's room and did centers. We'd like to wish Lake and Coach G. a Happy Birthday today. Tomorrow is Jenna's bday, followed by Trace on Sunday. Congrats to James and Kaleigh for being Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Bruno's good citizens. Have a happy weekend!

Thursday, 9-5

We did morning work, editing some sentences that Mrs. Johnson wrote incorrectly for us. Computer was today's special, and then we headed to PE. We got to go to the Fitness Arcade! YEA!!! We did Math Magician, as always, and practiced last week's fluency strategy. Our word problem was about cities and suburbs. Then, we read more about communities. In Mrs. Johnson's room we checked our morning work and played Sparkle Zap. We had a great day!!! We learned lots!!!!

Hump Day 9-4

We tried to do morning work this morning, but the ELMO wasn't cooperating!!!  :(  We read a book in Mrs. Johnson's room called I Like to be Little.  We went to PE and did karate.

When we came back, we did phonics, writing, and language.  We worked on vocabulary and learned how to take a reading test.

Before lunch, we read another chapter of our read-aloud book.  We enjoyed lunch and recess, but it was awfully warm!

In math, we did Math Magician, word problems, and created numbers in standard form, number word form, expanded form, and sketching.  We created t-charts about urban and suburban living. 

We are hoping that our parents will read today's post and respond back to us!  It excites us to see what our parents have to say about our day!

Tuesday, 9-3

This morning, we copied spelling words and wrote spelling sentences before we headed to art and PE.  We practiced making numbers in standard form, word form, and expanded form.  We also took our fluency test and did Math Magician.  We practiced solving word problems and learned about rural areas.

We had lunch, a read-aloud, and recess.  Boy, was it hot!!!!!

In Mrs. Johnson's room, we did phonics and centers.  We were supposed to finish our spelling sentences in our centers.  Tonight, we're supposed to complete a comprehension sheet for Jamaica Louise James for homework.

We had snack and worked on homework.  It's time to go home now!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!

First thing this morning, we worked on our morning assignment. We got together in Mrs. Johnson's room and read Hazel's Amazing Mother.  We also learned new spelling games on the iPad.

In reading today, we did our first response sheet for The Relatives Came.  We took our very first spelling test.  (Hope we did well!!!)  After the spelling test, Mrs. Johnson gave us dictation sentences. 

During our read-aloud, we heard another chapter of Sideways Stories from Wayside School.  It was all about Maurecia and her love for ice cream.

Mrs. Bruno said that we were supposed to do math centers on Fridays, but we skipped them this particular week because we were behind on some other things.  She PROMISED we'd have them next Friday.  We took a little quiz on the things we've worked on this week.  We had a guest math teacher!  His name was Mr. Nutting!  He was so very smart, and taught our children so much!  (Hee hee!!!!!!  He even had the "teacher pace" down pat!  See picture!)  Lastly, we learned two new games on the iPad.  They were SplashMath and Kakooma!!!!

Congrats to Carson Wideman (Bruno) and Finley Whisenhunt (Johnson) for being this year's first good citizens!!!!!!

Mrs. Bruno would like to thank everyone for the birthday flowers, cards, goodies, and gift card to the spa!!!  You made it a very special day!!!!  : )

Thursday, 8-29

Yesterday afternoon was so crazy that we didn't have time to blog (or even sign Husky Pads)!  Sorry!

Before special this morning, Mrs. Johnson called us to her room to learn about a spelling iPad game.  We had music and PE, then went to the computer lab for Mathletics.  We worked a word problem and talked about urban areas and suburbs

We had a great lunch and recess.  We did centers in Mrs. Johnson's room!!!!

Tuesday 8-27

This morning, we did math morning work.  It was decomposing 3-digit numbers!  A few of us went to Paine Primary Singers.  We saw a new website to monitor behavior.  We get stickers when we're on task and when we're not.  We learned about a math site we'll use in class and for homework called Mathletics.  We had our first round of Math Magician today.

In Mrs. Johnson's room we chose the right book for homework, and we are supposed to read that tonight.  We learned new centers, too.  We also got to write on dry-erase boards!

This afternoon, we had yummy snack and wrote on the blog!

Happy Friday!

We are excited that it's Friday!  We came in and worked on a secret message!  It was fun, but a little tricky.  Our favorite part of the day was when we went to recess.  The second we stepped on the playground, the bottom fell out!!!  We got SOAKED!!!!!  (But, it was also a little fun!)

We made little mathematicians during math.  They told what good mathematicians do and what math means to us!  We learned how to play "What's My Number?"

In Mrs. Johnson's room, we pretended to do centers to learn how to complete each one.  There's a silent reading center, a read with teacher center, and a word work center.

Lastly, we signed Husky Pads and ate snack!  It's been a fabulous first week of school!!!!

 

Thursday, 8/22

We did a crossword puzzle for our morning work.  Then, we had a group lesson in Mrs. Johnson's room.  Our math time today was finishing our math test.  We also got to work on our self-portraits.  We finished them in Mrs. Johnson's room after recess.  During language arts time we went over the monster stories that we began yesterday.  We also wrote on the dry erase boards.

 

First Day of Our New Blog

This morning we came in and completed our morning work.  It was handwriting practice and math fact practice.  We went to our first art class of the year.  It was great!!!!  Afterwards, we headed to PE.  We started our math class with a little quiz about what we learned in first grade.  We did the first three pages today.  We also looked at Mrs. Bruno's website to see how to find our class pictures and website links.  We played on Math Magician.  After recess, we swapped classes for the very first time.  We showed Mrs. Johnson that we knew how to do silent reading.  We did a writing workshop.

It was a great third day of school!!!!  :)

In math, we did a measurement activity.  We measured the length of different animals using feet.  Because Mrs. Bruno didn't have a 200 ft tape measure, we used the tiles on the floor as our measuring tool.  We measured the length of a great white shark, an elephant, a dolpin, an anaconda, a snow leopard, a Siberian tiger, a blue whale, and even a sun jellyfish.  The sun jellyfish is 200 feet long.  When we measured from our classroom door, it went all the way down our green hall and into the red hall.  We stood in front of Mrs. O'Brien's door.  You can't even see us in the picture when we're that far away.

Afterwards, we completed a word problem about producers and consumers, which led us into our social studies.  We talked about goods and services today.  We learned that, when Mrs. Bruno teaches us, she provides a SERVICE for us.  However, our parents have to buy school supplies for school, which are GOODS.

We're having snack now, and then we'll head to Mrs. Johnson's room!  We hope to have some responses to our blog over the weekend.  We're missing getting our messages!!!  :(

So glad to be back at school this week.  Our conference was great, and our presentation went well.  I missed being here, though.  Looking forward to our field trip this week!  -Mrs. Bruno

Monday, 4-8

Happy Monday!

We came in and unpacked.  Mrs. Johnson's class did not come over today because we had to go to the computer lab at 8:30.  We did a new math program called Mathletics.  It was awesome, and we all loved it!  Our favorite part was competing against our classmates, as well as other children around the world.  We can't wait to earn our first certificates.

We took our math fluency test and then worked on measurement word problems.

We are beginning to wrap up our immigration unit.  Today we looked at some of the tests that immigrants would have had to pass to get through Ellis Island.  Some of the questions were super easy, but others were very hard.

It's snack time now!  Yum!!!!!  : )

happy hump day we walked in and did a cursive sheet.  then we went to the bathroom.  then we did math mgishon.  and we read a book .  blinds wow !!!!!!!!!!!

Tuesday, 4-2

Mrs. Bruno is happy that April 1 is gone and there won't be any more April Fool's jokes for another 364 days!!!! : )

This morning, we watched a short video clip on Ellis Island and checked our webcams.  Mel and Sydney are still on "Hatch Watch."  We can't wait to see the newest owlets!!!!

We worked further on our immigration papers.  Most of us are done with our planning sheet and a good many are finished with our rough drafts.  We'll edit them in Mrs. Johnson's room tomorrow.

We did Math Magician before moving on to a new unit in math.  We're beginning studying about measurement, so Mrs. Bruno had us measure things around the room.  There was one catch . . . we had to measure with our PENCILS, so nobody got the same answers.  We were all over the board.  Mrs. Bruno's point was that we should all be measuring with the same tool.  So, we're going to do the same exercise over tomorrow with a standard unit of measure.  It should be MUCH better that way!!!

Monday . . . Back to Work!

What a gross, rainy day. However, Mrs. Bruno is glad to be back at school. She was tired of being in the bed sick!!!! It's nice to be back to a routine!!! This morning, we worked on cursive handwriting. We only have about four more letters to go before we can begin writing our spelling words in cursive. In math, we began learning about fractions. We now know that the MORE times you cut something up, the smaller the piece you receive. We also learned the vocabulary words numerator and denominator. We'll continue using fractions this week. In science, we reviewed for tomorrow's animals quiz. We had a special this morning, and now we're eating snack. We'll head to Mrs. Johnson's room in a few minutes. Sadly, we'll have to have indoor recess today!!! :(

It's FRIDAY!!!!!!!

Happy Friday to you! When Mrs. Johnson's class came over we learned three letters in cursive handwriting. We made a butterfly and read a Dr. Seuss butterfly book. We did some Dr. Seuss activities. We graphed colored goldfish, and then ate them, of course! We drew Thing 1 and Thing 2. We saw "The Sneetches" video and tried to play on Seussville. I'm thinking that every other child in America was also trying to play on Seussville because we had a very difficult time. We had snack and headed to Mrs. Johnson's room!

We learned that a square can be a rectangle, but a rectangle can't be a square. We also learned about the vertebrate group "fish" today. We read a betta fish life cycle book and Somewhere in the Ocean. We picked out which ocean animals were fish and which were mammals. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MRS. KELLEY!!!! : )

I don't think we've posted all week. It's been crazy!!! Monday . . . well, it was Monday. Tuesday was our field trip, so we weren't even here to blog. Yesterday, Mrs. Bruno and Mrs. Johnson had several meetings and didn't have two spare seconds to sit down and blog. So, that brings us to TODAY! Whew!!! We loved our field trip! We saw Young Abe Lincoln, and it was very good! Afterwards, we drove in the rain to the Southern Museum of Flight. We had a blast learning the science of airplanes. This week we've also been working on our end-of-term assessments. We'll have to continue those next week, as well. These are NOT our favorite things to do! :(

Super Bowl of Math

Happy Friday and Super Bowl of Math Day!!!!! When Mrs. Johnson's class came over, we did Bedtime Math. This morning we learned about puzzles. Our math problems were all about the pieces that make up the puzzles, as well as the pieces that get LOST from the puzzles!!! :) We did math centers that focused on FOOTBALL!!!! We played football math memory. We played Go Fish. One center was adding numbers to find the value of our favorite NFL team. The fourth center had the Ravens and the 49ers against each other in a place value game. We had lots of fun! We even got a special little football treat. Our prediction for the game is that the Baltimore Ravens will win. We'll see!

Monday, 1-28

Good morning! We're sorry that we didn't get to blog last Friday. We had another late arrival, which threw our morning off. We felt like we were playing "catch-up" all day long. We were so excited to get to have a live chat with the Southwest FL Eagle Cam moderators. We learned so very much by asking them our questions. They sent us pictures and interesting facts. Wouldn't it be cool if we could visit Fort Myers, FL in person and see the eagles ourselves!?!?! Maybe some of us can detour that way on our family vacations, if we're already headed to FL. :) Last Friday, when we arrived late, we were supposed to have math centers. Well, we did, but Mrs. Bruno RUSHED us through them really quickly. She was in such a hurry to get them finished that we even had to have a SUPER short snack! Today has been a good day. We did two Bedtime Math activities. The first was about the GPS and how good/bad it is. We like that it tells us where to go, but sometimes it doesn't always get EVERYTHING right, as we learned today. The second problem was about a store called Wall Drug Store in Wall, SD. It's the largest single store in the country. We did math problems about what you could buy, as well as the super-huge dinosaur that stands out front. In science today, we observed and recorded data about our terrariums and aquariums. Tomorrow we'll compare our male and female fish to see how they're alike and how they're different. We hope to have some posts on our blog this evening, so parents get to it!!!! :)

Thursday, 1-17

Our internet is STILL giving us problems, but it is a little better than it's been (that's not saying much, though). When Mrs. Johnson's class came over, we did Bedtime Math about the world's largest snowman (snowwoman, actually). We also watched the "Cheetah Hunt" and "Goliath" roller coaster videos to go along with yesterday's Space Mountain Bedtime Math because the internet wasn't working yesterday. We did centers in math today, and they were all about money. We played Coin Bingo, Dollar Dice, the iPad, and met with Mrs. Bruno to count money. They were fun! In science, we watched three Sid the Science Kid video clips to go along with trees and leaeves. Mrs. Bruno said we're going to do a Tree Pantomime tomorrow. I wonder what that is, and I hope it's fun!!!! Hope our moms and dads post on our blog tonight!!! : )

Happy Hump Day! This morning we read a Bedtime math about a bike that was stuck in a tree. How funny is that? We enjoyed that lesson! We learned two new math games called Snowman Math. We did Math Magician and worked AGAIN on addition and subtraction with regrouping. Then, we did our math/science word problem and read a living/nonliving book. We took a living/nonliving quiz and did very well!!! We're learning lots!!!! : ) Yum! Yum! It's snack time now!

Tues., 1-8

Even though the temperature is warmer outside, the temperature in our class is FREEZING!!!! We feel like we're having school in a refrigerator!!!! :) Mrs. Johnson's class came over for Bedtime math, eagle cam observation, and place value practice. Then, our class headed to the computer lab for Socrative and IXL. We got to do BrainPop, Jr. when we were finished. We did Math Magician and worked on addition and subtraction with REGROUPING!!!! It's snack time, and then we'll head to Mrs. Johnson's room. We have a special today. It is art!! Yea!!!

Mon 1-7

This morning, Mrs. Johnson's class came over for Bedtime Math and to be introduced to our newest eagle camera. We'll now begin following a camera near Fort Myers, FL. The second of two eggs hatched Friday morning, and Mrs. Bruno found it and watched it all weekend. She has arranged for us to have a live chat with the site's moderator, so our homework tonight is to think of a question to ask the moderator. We'll type those questions tomorrow in the computer lab. We also observed Phoebe, the hummingbird, who has two new babies, as well. They're TINY!!! We reviewed addition and subtraction. Mrs. Bruno gave us our subtraction problems, but we rolled dice to make up our own addition problems. We also read about whether or not our hair, skin, and nails are living or nonliving things. Hmmmmmmm! I wonder what our parents would think. Let's ask them! Parents, write back to us on our blog!!!!! :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Welcome back to school!!! Happy 2013!!! We are glad to be back and in a routine again. The weeks before Christmas were CRAZY, and now maybe things will settle back down. We had Mrs. Johnson's class over this morning and learned about our new morning work for a few days a week. It's called Bedtime Math, and it's a website that sends a passage about a current event, as well as some math problems to go with it. You can even sign up to receive daily emails with the problem of the day. We decided that, since we wouldn't do them at bedtime, we'd change its name to "We-Just-Go-Out-Of-Bed-Time Math!" : ) We did some fun New Year math activities and began a new science unit on organisms. Today, we looked at what we thought it meant to be a living thing vs. what really defines a living thing. We learned that, just because something moves, it doesn't make it a living thing. We also cleared up the misconception that all living things breathe. We're looking forward to learning more in science in the coming days. Happy New Year!!!!!
