start of the week August 17 - 21

Today we started 2 new units in the classroom. We have begun our second story for the year since all of the class scored an A on reading the first story, "A Cat". The second story is entitled "Spider" and I have sent a copy home with all the students. They heard it and worked on it this morning with different opinions of it so far.

When asked T5 mentioned, "I don't know" and with prompting he said "yes I like spiders"
C5 - "I think um" *giggles* "I think the spider is pretty, and it bites you"
T7 - ""Yuck, Yuck! That is what I think. It was yuck yuck yuck"

Then we started the second area of science discussing and learning about the bones in the body, while talking about food and health. Along with working on our sequence and pattern skills in math. T5 seems to really enjoy math over reading and writing. But when asked if he wanted to do math he said, "Oh What, oh no No no no no." repeatedly 2 times.

Well hopefully we will all be able to be here the whole week without the tropical storm causing us to miss class. Tuesday morning we will get to have our first library experience.
