Apple Tasting!!

We are having a very good week in school.  Yesterday, we got to taste three different kinds of apples for snack... Red Delicious, Golden Delicious and Granny Smith.  After we tasted the apples, we graphed our favorite kind.  Most of our class liked the Red Delicious apples but they were all very good.  The apple activity was fun, delicious and yummy!












Both rounds of Daily 5 went very well today!  We worked really hard to build our stamina and get smarter during Read to Self.  Working with Words was good, too.  Selena put her friend’s names in order using letter cubes.  Ariana sorted capital and lowercase letters.  William matched capital and lowercase letters on his apple tree.  Joshua rolled the letter dice and wrote his letters.  Some other people got to punch letters using push pins.  In Book Club, we played a lot of letter games with Mrs. Deaton.  Some of us got to do activities on our Letter Laptops and others got to play Letter Sound Bingo with her.  It was so much fun. We are really learning a lot during Daily 5!









We went to the Book Fair during Media today and some of us got to buy books.  We love the Book Fair!


Mrs. Deaton read the story “10 Apples Up on Top” and then drew a funny picture with 4 apples on top of her head.  We got to write about anything we wanted to in our journal today.  Some of us decided to draw a picture and write about apples on top of our heads. We thought this was really silly!




We played a very fun game called “Guess My Rule” during math with Mrs. Deaton and Ms. Mary.  They sorted all of the children in lots of different ways and we had to guess how they sorted us.  They sorted us by boys and girls, the color of our hair, what kind of shoes we were wearing, short and long sleeve shirts, the length of our hair and the color of our shirts.  The teachers thought they could trick us but we didn’t think they could!  They actually did trick us.... only ONE time, though!  It was a really awesome game.

We did a lot of other math things during Math Centers.  Some of us worked on IXL math on the computer.  Another group got to roll the dice and practice writing our numbers.  Ms. Mary had a group of students who got to play Color and Shape Bingo with her.  The last group worked hard sorting different objects by color and type.  We are learning a lot in math.






We really love school!
