Friday Fun

It's Friday!!!!





On Fridays we start the day off in P.E. Today was a kickball day. It was a close game with a few home runs and a few exciting catches. Afterwards, we all headed back to class to take our spelling and reading test for the week. Then it was off to math followed by lunch and recess. After recess we came back together to continue our series about civilizations. We have been talking all week in Social Studies about what it would be like to start our own colony and what it would be like if we were in charge. Today we watched the first episode of the CBS television show Kid Nation and discussed different techniques and strategies on how they started their town. Later in the day, we met up with our 1st grade study buddies. Each Friday, in the auditorium, we pair up with students from Mrs. Muehlings first grade class and help them with some sort of math or reading activity. Over the past couple weeks the 1st graders have been learning and doing activities involving apples. So today we colored a picture of Johnny Appleseed together while our 1st grader buddies told us what they had learned. Afterwards it was back to the room to finish off our video and and call it a day. I hope that everyone has a great relaxing weekend. See you on Monday.
