Friday, September 25, 2009

It's Friday! The 2D Rocks used the day to catch up on some ongoing and unfinished projects. It was a quadruple marble morning! Wonderful! We took our spelling tests in the morning and worked in small groups on the reading strategy of using "context clues" to help us determine meaning of a word.

We also worked in Maps and Globes, on handwriting, and on the Commutative and Associative properties in math. We continued to work on estimating or rounding to the greatest digit as well. We enjoyed reading an article on Light and Sight as well as an article on animal defenses in our new National Geographic Explorer Magazines.

And although in most cases inappropriate for school, we talked "dung" today after lunch. Jurassic Poop was our afternoon read aloud story today. It gave us lots of interesting information about TRACE FOSSILS and what they help us learn about animals living during that time period. Who knew you could learn so much from what you leave behind?

Remember: Next Thursday is our field trip to Caesar Creek!

Have a great weekend!
