Today we started by working at our table spots with unfinished work, then gathering and doing our Daily 5 to work on our stamina.

After calendar we revisted our new sight word two. We also reviewed the word What. We learned about the -ot word family, and boys and girls had to place a word into the house if it belonged to that family (pot, hot, got, etc). They did really well with this.

After our station time we gathered and did a little science. We are just starting to get more into our science curriculum. We talked about germs and how to keep ourselves clean. Some students from St. Scholastica came in with glow germs on their hands. They high fived and shook students hands, then brought out a black light to show how many 'germs' were left on their hands. We went to the bathroom and washed, then checked out our clean hands under the black light--much better! The college students also gave a demenstration of what happens when you sneeze. They blew powered sugar all over someones shirt, and explained that you have to sneeze into your elbow so you dont spread germs everywhere/on your hand! It was a fun science lesson.

 

We've pushed so hard this week and gotten so much done, that I felt the boys and girls deserved some choice time. They spent 15 minutes playing before snack, story, and home!

 

**Tomorrow is dress your best day. We will not go outside for fun friday, as everyone will be in their nice clothes.
