I would like to start today's blog with a thank you to everyone who sent me well wishes on my birthday. Today was absolutely heart warming and I could not of thought of a better way to celebrate my birthday then with everyone here at SJA. Everyone made me feel so loved and appreciated, it really touched me deeply so thank you thank you thank you!

Language:   We continued reading our novel "The Little House in the Big Woods" by Laura Ingalls Wilder. We read chapter 12 now! We discussed what were the main events that happened in this chapter and spoke about the differences between machines then and now. As an activity each student had to write a reflection paragraph about how machines then and now are different with examples from the story.




Recess/Lunch

The second method is writing the numbers from 0-9 first and the right next to it write the numbers 9-0. Then we examined the pattern and saw how to use this method when we are doing mental math!





We did some practice on some worksheets and then did mad minutes for our 2's and 5's to improve our scores from last time. We ended the lesson with a worksheet, the students had to check their answers with a partner in the class.
