More About George

Books we've read....                

  Good Driving, Amelia Bedelia by Herman Parish    

A funny story, Watch out! Mr. Rodgers didn't know what kind of a ride he was in for with Amelia Bedelia. Only she can make a car trip this fun!

 George Washington America's First President by Justin McCory Martin

A bit of history about our First President. Lots of fun facts. Kids really got into this!

We did a wonderful writing project about George Washington. Each child wrote a fact about George Washington as well as a picture that went along with what they wrote. Lots of good facts. They will be posted in the classroom for anyone who would like to check them out. Lots of hard work went into these pieces!

Sharing continues to be a hit! Thank you friends for bringing in something special to share with your classmates. 

In math we counted to 100 orally today as a class.  Then we played a game called what comes next?  I say a number like 7 and the kids write what comes next.  We are even trying some harder numbers like 32 and 76!  After that I told a story about a squirrel hiding nuts.  He had 10 nuts that he keeps hiding and I keep finding some.  The kids have to figure out how many nuts are still hidden.  If he hides 10 nuts and I find 3 of them, how many are still hidden?  These are all great games that you can play with your kids at home to strengthen their math skills.

Tomorrow is "Pajama Day"! So, let your kiddos sleep in  a little longer and let them roll right out of bed and come to school rested, relaxed and ready to go. There is a whole school reading party as well from 1:00-1:45pm. We will be reading with our buddies during this time.

Thank you to those who have brought in snacks to share with our class. If anyone is interested in bringing in a snack to share with the class, we welcome them always.

We REALLY appreciate it! So do your kids.
