The Quick, Quirky, and not real Quiet but Quacky peeps!

Hi Everybody!

Happy Q day everybody! We have had a QUICK Q day today! We started our day off with our famous morning meeting. We sang our famous songs, we fixed our famous calendar and we also read our famous morning message. After morning meeting, we finished up learning about the Serengeti. We got two new animal cards! We got the African Elephant animal card and the Plains Zebra animal card. They are QUIRKY! We learned that the African Elephant fights with its' head and tusks and it can weigh as much as 12,000 pounds- YIKES! We learned that the Plains Zebra can run as fast as 40 mph! We also learned that Plains Zebras go on a "Great Migration" with antelopes, wildebeests, and other animals. The leader zebra that leads the animals is called a stallion. Finally, we got to hear the sound that a Plains Zebra makes and it sounds like bubbles echoing- it's QUIRKY!

After animal cards, we watched part of a Jeff Corwin movie! We followed Jeff around Spain to learn about Donana National Park which has five habitats in its' park! They have a wetlands, they have a sand dunes, they have an ocean, they have a forest and they have mountains! It was really QUITE cool! Finally, it was time for Math. The friends in Mrs. J's class played "The Great Dice Challenge." Ben, José Manuel, Gavin, and Nate were our winners! We had QUITE a lot of fun!

LUNCHTIME!

After lunch, we came back to have reading centers. Today at Mrs. J's table, we all took our spelling test. There were lots of friends who got perfect scores! Ellie, Connor, Megan, José Manuel, Caroline, Isana, Audrey and Gavin all got perfect scores!! Way to go, friends! It was QUITE simple (says Connor but no one else agrees with him ;-)

For writing today, we filled in spider maps about our shares. A spider map really helps keep our writing organized and neat. Spider map writing is really fun too!

RECESS!!!!

After recess, we came back into the classroom and are writing to you right now! We have had a very QUICK but fun Q day today! Oh and we can't forget that we had some yummy QUAKER granola bars from Gavin! Yeah for granola bars and Gavin!

We hope you have had a QUACKY, QUIRKY AND QUIET day too! Join us next Monday for P day! We are going to wear pajamas, bring pictures of our pets and eat popcorn- Happy P Day Eve, Eve, Eve or triple Eve!!

Love all the QUIRKY and not- QUIET peeps,

Ellie, Connor, Megan, José Manuel, Ben, Ethan, Caroline, Matthew, Nate, Jamie, Justin, Joshua, Isana, Gavin, Audrey, and Makayla
