Tuesday

Today we worked on our surveys, asking everyone our questions with four choices, and then we used the colored cubes to show that we understand our tally marks. Tomorrow we will work on our graphs to show our new data.

Grade 1's printed the letter Y with a "short slide" and a "long slide" line. Some of our "Y" words were yacht, yoyo, yay and yogurt.

In gym, we are starting into the basketball-type games, so practicing our "chest pass" and catching. We stood inside hoops to give us a target and a focus point. We all stood in a circle. It was hard and fun. We also threw our balls against the wall and tried to catch them. This is really good practice for catching!

We learned how to draw self-portraits in pencil today. We folded our paper in half long ways and then sideways. Then we drew our eyes on each side of the middle line. When we divided up the bottom half, our mouth was on that line. This is our practice portrait before we work on our good draft next week. Ask us to look in the mirror and carefully observe our eyes, nose and mouth.
