Hello Everybody!!
We are writing to you this afternoon after just listening to our lovely teacher, Mrs. J, playing the violin! She gave us a vibrant violin concert complete with the Indiana Jones Theme song (specifically for a friend named Ethan). This song was dedicated to Ethan because of his love for Indiana Jones and his amazing production of Lego Indiana Jones movies! We loved the concert!! We learned all about the violin and she even let us touch the horse hairs on her bow!! It was a way cool experience!!
We also did Animal Cards today! We just finished up the Canadian Rockies habitat. We learned about an animal called the Pika. Did you know his nickname is called, "Rock Rabbit?" We thought that was pretty cool. Then we took Smart Board Airways over to the Serengeti and we learned some interesting facts about the giraffe. Did you know that a giraffe's tongue is 18 inches long???? That's like the length of our arms!!!!! We decided to make a human giraffe in the classroom (Ellie, Gavin, Joshua, Caroline, Ethan, and Isana). Did you know that a giraffe can be almost 18 feet tall? We walked along our friends to make sure we got the measurements right! It was really fun!!
Before we started Math, Mrs. J lead us in some yoga! We love doing yoga before Math! After Math, we went to lunch and then we came back for centers! In writing center today, we wrote about our shares using a Spider Map. It was pretty cool because it taught us to organize our writing to put it into sentences easier. For activity, we got to play on Ticket to Read. In Science, we finished up some of our unfinished work. We also took our Spelling Tests today. There were a bunch of us that got perfect scores!! Ellie, Megan, Connor, Ethan, Justin, Gavin, Makayla, and Audrey all got perfect scores!!
Well everybody, we are going to go watch a movie about the Australian Grasslands with Jeff Corwin- we LOVE Jeff Corwin!! We hope you have a wonderful weekend and we'll write to you again on Monday!!
Love all of us peeps,
Connor, Ellie, Megan, Ben, José Manuel, Jennifer, Ethan, Caroline, Nate, Matthew, Jamie, Justin, Lucy, Joshua, Gavin, Isana, Audrey and Makayla
Plus the lovely Mrs. J
