Happy Birthday, Christian!

(Morgan and her mom are making cotton candy for Friday's carnival.)
We had another fun day. Ellie's dad and another officer from the Sherrif's department brought the drug dog to our school for an assembly. We got to watch the dog, Aron, in action as he found hidden drugs. I re-read The Wolf's Chicken Stew and we talked about hundreds. Students worked in pairs to put together enough dominoes to make 100 dots. It was a bit of a challenge, but they persisted. We finished Stuart Little today, so for writer's workshop, students wrote a new ending. We all thought Stuart should have found Margalo and lived happily ever after, but the book left us hanging. We learned the difference between a square and a rectangle. Did you know that a square is a special rectangle because all of its sides are the same length? Students decorated Valentine's bags today and used hearts to create animal pictures. As always, they were very creative!
