I forgot!

Yikes!  I forgot to post today.  It was my first day of carpool duty, and then I immediately went to a meeting.  Sorry!

We read a few Thanksgiving stories, wrote about what we are going to do over the Thanksgiving break, practiced handwriting, played Lexia, and played outside with the other K classes.

We see our 4th grade buddies tomorrow.  That's always exciting.

Estimating ~ Last Day of Farms ~ Math Games

The class estimated and then counted the hair bands that Shikhara put in the estimation jar.  There were 161.

Today was our last day studying farms.  We reviewed what we knew before the unit and then added more to show what we learned.  We added more pictures to all of the categories, but we especially added more to the crops, farm machines, and buildings.

We played Build A City in math.

We also worked on symmetry in math.

Shikhara is our Star of the Week.  She wants to be a dentist when she grows up.  Her favorite book is Beauty and the Beast.  She is excited to go to India to meet her cousins.  She likes to play outside and also dance to loud music.
