Tuesday, August 28th

Today we learned some facts about Kansas.
We played Beat The Teacher in math. It is a place value game. Mrs. Goertzen lost every time.
We made our Humpty Dumpty contraptions. (Tomorrow we are each going to make up a name for our invention, and then we are going to walk to the high school and drop them from the top of the bleachers!)
We added two new words to our Vivid Vocabulary board - they are "fidget" and "linger".
We talked about the 3 ways to write a number - in standard, word, and expanded form! (Note to parents - this would be a GREAT thing to ask your kiddo about!)
Today we beat our stamina record in Read To Self time - we read for 13 minutes without any interruptions!  :)
We have homework tonight - everyone is supposed to ask his/her grown-ups where his/her ancestors came from. We are going to start talking about settlers and immigrants.
And we talked about 3 of our spelling words - "there, their and they're". We talked about tips for remembering which one is which.
