Today we learned that good readers change their voices to read with expression. Our voices should match the feelings in the story. Kevin, Mia, Joshua, and Isabella thought it was easy to read with expression. Some children thought it was challenging. We all practiced during independent reading time.
We read Time for Kids. It’s a magazine just like the one grown ups read, but it’s just for kids.
It was all about Kevin Henkes. He is an author and illustrator. We learned a lot about how books are written and made just by looking at the photographs and reading the captions. 
After we read the magazine together, we answered questions on the back and then practiced using punctuation marks just like other authors do.
Sean and Anthony both lost a tooth this morning! It was Sean’s first one and Anthony’s sixth. They were both very busy wiggling their teeth to get them to come out!
We recorded different number combinations in math. We learned to organize the numbers to help us think. First we worked together on the Smartboard.
Then we worked independently at our seats. We discovered that there are 7 ways to make the number 6! 
In P.E., we had our second try on the obstacle course. Mia got to demonstrate how to do the course. People were chosen to press the “easy” button if they were brave or if they helped put things back.
During Writer’s Workshop we concentrated on including feelings in our writing. We came up with a list of lots of words to choose from. Everyone tried their best to use interesting words instead of always using happy or sad.
