First FULL day of school - August 19, 2010

Hello parents!
Today we made unusual fish drawings!  We had fish with tattoos, fish with x-ray vision, fish with unicorn horns, fish with arms, and fish with beards!  These amazing drawings will be coming home with your student today!

Also, today we played a new game called "Poison Frogs" - this is a strategy game.  Ask your child about how to play it!

Today we got 2 new class pets - two tiny water frogs!  Adrians A-Z in Buhler donated them to our classroom!  This is perfect for us because we learn about frogs in 4th grade and Mrs. Goertzen says that we get to  dissect frogs next week (fake frogs!).

We took our first timed test today - it was addition!

We also worked on our apple experiment - we took the peel off of the apples and we are seeing what will happen to them when they sit out.  Right now they look brown, squishy and like dirty, bumpy baseballs.

Also, so far we have earned 4 minutes of extra recess by getting quiet quickly!  We get to use it tomorrow!

We are having a great day!
