We had a fine time at Friday's Dinosaur Dance. It was great that you could all join us. I have never seen a better Dinosaur Dance!! The kids were totally into dinosaurs last week and we learned alot together. The dinosaur books we read were a huge hit and making the dinosaur exhibit was so much fun.
We don't forget for long what, though that we are learning about blending d with other letters and we continue to use everyday words to tell about what we learn. All of us read an easy reader to Mrs B last week and are all carrying new library books in our yellow folders.
Today we were introduced to a new letter light- Letter Light U. Since she likes to go up up up more and more it is only logical that she would help us study about our solar system. We spent the day investigating the planets in our solar system. We also studied a painting, A Paris Street, Rainy Day and wrote about it and made a rainy wet painting. It is always fun to hear what the kids have to say about something new like a painting by an artist. We will put our descriptions on our own paintings for you to see.
We sure have alot of humor in our room! News flash- they listen the best when I try it on them. They keep me on my toes and I can keep them on their toes. We are having a fine year together and they are like little wiggly sponges! Now its time for another nap!!

Day 52
We are so excited about our week with Dancing Dinosaur Mr. D!! We are playing games with dinosaurs, sorting them into meat eaters and plant eaters in the Dinosaur Museum, practicing a dinosaur dance, looking at many books about dinosaurs, and writing stories about dinosaurs.
Speaking of stories, we had our own Blake reading about the vehicles in Cars to us first thing this morning! It was very exciting to hear him and without knowing it, he introduced us to our next Science unit on How Things Move. We are busy playing dinosaur this week. Marcos has discovered that there are skeletons on our floor of dinosaurs and he pretends with the small dinosaurs. I think he must be a paleontologist, since he is studying dinosaurs skeletons. We all had a great time today hearing the story, Can We Have a Stegasaurus? Mom, Can We? Please? Then we started to write a sequel to it and will finish on Friday. I want to know what Mom is going to say! We are working hard to understand stories by their pictures and content. I hope we can figure out what Mom's answer to the boy's question in the stories. Then we can publish it and send it home for you to read. They are very excited about writing their own words to go with the story.
We are now practicing adding numbers that equal 5. We had a nice visit with Mary of the Dearborn Public Schools who helped Mrs. B to decide how to use the Touch Points on numbers to help us learn to add. It helps to have a little advice once in a while. Sue B signing out.
