Today, Madison B., Conor, and Kelsey had their pictures taken. We had technology. Everyone brought their library books back today so the entire class had their pictures taken by Mrs. Edler. We wore a hat, bandana, and a black moustache. Mr. Tanenbaum taught us how to use the rest of the programs on Kid Pix. We drew pictures using different tools. This morning we had a substitute. We had independent reading where we focused on reading smoothly and not reading like a robot. We are going to practice reading smoothly at home, too! The class also read a new poem called A Thanksgiving Dinner. Ms. Stern read us a story called On the Mayflower. It was about a girl named Ellen who was a passenger on the voyage as well as Will, who was an apprentice. Many children decided that they would not want to be passengers on the voyage because it was a hard life during those 65 days!
