Fun Monday!

We had an AWESOME morning! We were silly but we got our work done. I had some friends helping me fix our magnets on the board because our numbers keep falling off and we think this is HILARIOUS!! They are ALL fixed now... hopefully this won't be happening anymore.

During our inquiry into language arts we started practicing the letters CK, ck... it was difficult to come up with words that begin or end in CK... We managed to come up with a few. Clock, knock, shock, and sock! We wrote in our phonics journals and our friends work is looking MUCH neater!

During our Math and UOI, I combined the two lessons today! We did our Pumpkin Investigation! We learned about the Scientific Method and made a hypothesis (educated guess) based on our observation for how many seeds we have in our pumpkin! After we made our observations, hypothesis and measured our pumpkin, we cut it open!! We made some guesses for what color the inside of the pumpkin was going to be. We guessed brown, red, yellow, peach, and lots of people thought "the color of my skin..." We cut open the pumpkin to find a yellowish/orange mixture!! Each of us got the opportunity to touch the slimy gross "wire" inside the pumpkin. Some of our friends liked the smell of pumpkin, some of our friends really really did not like it... we did not say the word "hate" because some of our friends REALLY don't like that word! ;) After this we took our seeds and Ms. Gray separated them for each group to count.

Music test went well today! :) Ms. Gray was in the room and assisting Mr. Flower with writing for students. Woohoo!
