• read, sequenced, and discussed "Henry and Mudge and the Yellow Moon" in reading and phonics class
• worked with today's number (19) and practiced writing numbers in different ways in math class 
• identified problems and practiced following steps to find solutions in social studies class
• continued to work with problems with the first step of the design process in science class
• listened to Sr. Heart present during ECA

We started the day by voting for the G3 festival posters.

Tonight's Homework:

• Complete Math Practice pg. 3.3-3.6.
• Read aloud for 15 minutes and have a parent sign your reading log. 
• Practice talking about your favorite animal in front of your family. You will have two minutes in front of the class tomorrow during our weekly sharing time. 
  
  *The students prepared an outline of what they want to present. On the back of their outline is a rubric of the points I will be grading their presentation on.
  
  These are questions you can answer:
  
  
  1. Describe the animal: What does the animal look like? Where does it live?
  2. Why do you like it?
  3. Where do you see it?
  4. Is it safe to play with?
  5. What makes it special?
  6. How long does it live?
