"Mini-Post" About Our Week

Sorry folks - it's been a busy week in the Day house, so my post is a bit delayed. We've been doing some fun activities in class; a couple of them are pictured below. 

We've wrapped up our force and motion unit, and will be learning about Martin Luther King Jr., and then starting our Natural Resources unit (S.O.L 1.8). 

In Math, we will assess time (Math S.O.L. 1.8) Thursday, then start word problems (S.O.L. 1.6). We will continue to review time, though, so please continue to reinforce telling time on an analog clock at home - i.e. ask your child frequently for the time. We have covered time to the hour and half-hour.

Remember that next week is wacky - we are off on Monday (MLK), then 2:20 dismissal Thursday (1/24) and 1:00 dismissal on Friday (1/25). And then there are teacher work days the following Monday and Tuesday (1/28-29)!

 Students listened to a story (no pictures), then had to complete a written response that described the character in the story. They all did a fantastic job with this! We have some super listeners and writers!

 This is one group getting ready to perform "surgery" on these words 
to form contractions with Mrs. Muhlbauer. More pictures coming soon!

Mrs. Ball was in today to do logic puzzles with the class. We were doing some serious thinking!! 

We even had some great practice with team work!
