What a busy week it's been!  Here are a few highlights:

This week we finished peer editing, typing, illustrating, and publishing our animal paragraphs!  The students have been working hard on this project for several weeks and I'm so proud of their final products!  We spent Thursday morning in the computer lab where we made PowerPoint slideshows of our animals.  We will be presenting our slideshows on Friday, March 25 at 2:00 - We hope to see you there!

Thursday was St. Patrick's Day and we finished making our Leprechaun Glyphs!  We also went on a Leprechaun hunt... we left one of our glyphs on the playground to see if a real Leprechaun would come and move it... and when we went out for recess it was moved!!  

On Friday, a few more students got to visit the book tree!  Yay for reading!  Way to go guys!!! 

This week we started our fraction unit!  In math groups we made some pizza fractions!  Here are some photos of our fraction work... Enjoy!

March has been a busy month so far!  In addition to our Math Mall we're wrapping up the 3rd nine weeks, finishing our animal paragraphs, and learning to use lots of new technology!  Check out some of the things we've been up to... :-)

Thank you to all of the teachers and parents who came to help at our Math Mall!  We had a blast as we put all of our knowledge about counting money into a real life situation!   Here's a video of our Math Mall in action... Enjoy!  

We also blogged about our Math Mall!  Check it out on our Kidblog!  http://kidblog.org/MrsFrysClass/MrsFry/math-mall/

Watch out for MRS. TRUNCHBULL!  You don't want to end up in the chokey!

Today we blogged some predictions for Matilda.  Lavendar put a newt into Mrs. Trunchbull's jug of water!  See what we thought would happen next here.  There are some VERY good predictions!  Way to go kids!

We had a wonderful day today!  We started our Math Mall which was a HUGE success!  Thank you to the teachers and families who came to help us.  We hope to see more guests Tuesday and Wednesday!  Remember to come at 2:00!

Today we talked about genres during morning meeting.  We voted on our favorite genres on our morning message.  It turns out we love non-fiction texts! 

Congrats to our February winners!  Remember to R.I.D.E!  (Reading is done EVERY NIGHT!)  Click here for more information.
