We Can't Wait to Eat Octopus Stew!

We have had an OUTSTANDING time learning about letter Oo, Octopi and Octopus Stew this week!  Monday night we were given a "research" assignment to see if we could find out how the octopi/octopus protect themselves. We were excited to learn octopus are able to squirt ink to protect themselves and are also able to change their skin color and texture to blend in to their surroundings!  Camouflaged was the word we learned to describe this hiding trick of the octopi. We cant wait until Friday when Mrs. Daily says we are going to eat Octopus Stew! Yum! Yum!

Reading with "octopus magic!"

Ernie brought "research" info and activities to share with all!

Excited about the cool octopus information!

Thanks Ernie and Mr. Weiss for sharing!

Let's write all we now know about OCTOPUS!

Let It Snow!

We have had fun wishing for snow this first week back of the new year! Winter signs are all around! Today we had "snow" in our room! Each student was given a "blending" word on a piece of white paper.  After they read their word they were able to turn it into a SNOWBALL!  We then "let it snow" and did it over and over again!  We even had a snowball fight! We love learning to READ and SNOW!

LET

IT

SNOW!

100% Attendance ! Woohoo!

We are off to a great start this year with two days of 100% attendance in our classroom! We are glad everyone is well and able to be back in school. Our school is encouraging GREAT ATTENDANCE by having a contest. The class with the best overall attendance will recieve a treat! We learn best when we come to school regularly. Research shows that those children who attend school regularly are more likely to be successful during their school years.
