On Monday, we read There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves. As we read, the Old Lady kept swallowing more and more things like a pumpkin, pole, pair of pants, hay, and a shirt. In the end, she sneezed and sneezed out a scarecrow! We then made our own paper plate scarecrows (though we didn't have to swallow any of the pieces and then try to sneeze them out).
We took pictures of us with our scarecrows. Can you guess who each scarecrow is?
On Thursday, we learned about Christopher Columbus and why he was so important. We learned how he was an explorer and how back then, sailors did not have the technology we have today to help guide them. Ask us the three things Columbus used to guide his three ships, what those three ships' names were, who gave Columbus the money to take his voyage, what he was looking for, what countries he was looking for, and what place he really discovered. We know all of this information and are now Christopher Columbus experts!
We are looking forward to a nice Monday off. We will start ITBS testing on Tuesday at approximately 8:30 am, so please try to get to school on time, by 8:00 am in the cafeteria for prayers and the pledge of allegiance. In addition, go to bed early every night, eat a good breakfast, make sure your bring a healthy snack to school, and don't worry about the test. It's not a big deal and is only a guide to help see what academic areas need to be worked on throughout the year.
Have a great weekend!
