Wednesday's snapshot

we fingerpainted Xx today :)

and also finished learning how to play the Leprechaun Coin counting game.

we concluded our frozen pipe experiment today, as well.

the students found first-hand that once the water freezes, the pipe no longer works.

they also noticed that the cup began to burst because of the ice and then realized once it began to thaw out there would be a big mess! we will be observing our tanks and pipes to see how they work once the water has thawed.

we started a new chapter book during quiet time today.

"To the Gregg family, hunting is just plain fun. To the girl who lives next door, it's just plain horrible. She tries to be polite. She tries to talk them out of it, but the Greggs only laugh at her. Then one day the Greggs go too far, and the little girl turns her Magic Finger on them. When she's very, very angry, the little girl's Magic Finger takes over. She really can’t control it, and now it's turned the Greggs into birds! Before they know it, the Greggs are living in a nest, and that's just the beginning of their problems…."

Mr. Luis visited us again today for our Spanish lesson. The students reviewed how to say My name is _________ and learned how to say animal names in Spanish and played Simon Says.

Kairi's birthday is tomorrow but she won't be here to celebrate it with us :( so we celebrated today!

in limited centers the students wrote in their journals about our science experiment...

and we worked on upper and lowercase recognition using fun, messy stamps :)
