Today is April Fool’s Day! Ms. Stern played a few tricks on us. When we came in this morning, the wrong names were on the Smartboard! They were the names of the children in Ms. Stern’s class last year. After the prank, we got our regular lunch count slide back. During math, she gave us second grade paper about addition and subtraction. Everyone thought it was so hard that we grabbed our clipboards and wanted to come to the rug for extra help! Then Ms. Stern yelled, “April Fools!” Ms. Stern wasn’t the only one pulling pranks. Isabella came back from lunch telling her that she had ants in her lunch box…APRIL FOOLS. Mia told Ms. Stern that her sister’s leg was broken…APRIL FOOLS. Sammy pulled the worst prank ever…he told Ms. Stern that he brought her a gigantic Reese’s peanut butter cup (her favorite!)…APRIL FOOLS! Zoe told Emily she had lots of candy for her…APRIL FOOLS!
After learning about nouns and proper nouns, we started talking about adjectives today. Adjectives are describing words. Ms. Stern read us a book called, Hairy, Scary, Ordinary: What is an Adjective? Together, we came up with a list of adjectives. Afterwards, we had to come up with a list of adjectives that describe us and also a list of words that describe school. Some of our words to describe us were: nice, friendly, lovely, playful, fast, helpful, pretty, lucky, nice, crazy, fun, and kind. Some of our school words were: awesome, wide, filled, neat, easy, old, red, wild, big, red, and fun.
Lately, we’ve been finding some ants with wings in our classroom.
We did a little bit of investigating to find out what they are. We thought they were either flying ants or termites. Termites have 2 body parts and ants have 3. Termites’ antennae are straight and ants’ are bent. Most children think we have termites. Ms. Stern made sure to let Mrs. Polansky and the custodians know.
During the real math we practiced doing related facts. We learned that the operation means addition or subtracting. In related facts, the numbers are the same but the order is different and so is the operation. We know that by looking at the plus or minus sign.
Just before lunch, Ms. Stern showed us some photographs. They had to do with mealworms, which we are learning about. She told us ahead of time that they were going to be gross, and they were! The photos were of her brother at a market in Thailand. Instead of selling fruits, vegetables, or pickles, they were selling BUGS!!! Lots and lots of bugs. Her brother bought a few different bags, including the mealworms, to try.
Nolan thought the photos were awesome! Axl thought it was gross. All Mia could say was, “BLECH!” We are going to email Ms. Stern’s brother to find out what it was like eating them.
In art, we are going to start sculptures but we didn’t have enough time. On Friday, we are going to work on a surprise (for Mother’s Day). We got to do free drawing, doodle folders, and our still lifes.
