Today we finally had our Charlie Caps party! First, we had Kids Teach the Teacher. Madison S. taught Irish step dancing; Erin, Ashley, and Joseph V. all taught how to draw different objects; Kelsey taught about the responsibilities involved with getting a new kitten; Nicole showed the class how to make a triangle out of a tissue; Joseph B. taught the class some of the plays from his football team; Cassie taught how to do the “Jump of the Cat;” Conor taught the class about the Giants and Amani Toomer. Casey will have a chance to teach tomorrow.

After Kids Teach the Teacher, we watched the movie Ice Age: the Meltdown. Some parts were scary, like when the mammoth ran away with the herd and then the sea creatures appeared. Other parts were funny, like when Sid’s head bumped the ice and made it crack. Another funny part was when the squirrel went to acorn heaven and Sid was the fire king. We also had a pizza party today. It was delicious! Many children asked for seconds but everyone only had 1 slice.

Jackie has a tooth that is very loose. In fact, it’s so loose that it was bleeding for most of the morning. Mrs. Spiro said it still isn’t ready to come out yet. Ms. Stern really doesn’t like loose teeth and she can’t wait until it falls out!!! After lunch, the class went to P.E. where we continued to use the obstacle course. The most challenging part is the George Washington Bridge. It’s slippery. Since today is Monday, we had a spelling pre-test and we also had to write in our journals.
