We had daily 5. We made pictures.  Some of us got jelly beans because we were really quiet.  Some of us read to a partner.  Some of us got to read with the teacher. There are rules in daily 5.  At choice, only one person can pick an activity.  We can't cut or glue during daily 5.  Voices are off while the teacher is reading which means no talking. We switch choices quickly and very quietly. Elizabeth said, "I like going to listening".

Last night was our open house.  We played math games. One of them used cards.  We shared our i-pads with our parents. We read our guided reading book and stories from our writing folder. Some of us got our report cards. Mrs. Gengler and Mrs. Kozlosky are very proud of us.  After the open house we put a ticket by basket for a raffle.  Three of us won! Maggie won the baby basket, Nevaeh won the game basket and Caylie won the Superhero basket. We hope that our school earned a lot of money for our new playground.

Finally! We could go outside and get some fresh air. It was fun outside but it was still cold. Some of the kids stayed inside for afternoon recess/PIT Time. Some of the kids went outside. Some of the kids went in the house. Some of the kids went on the snow banks. Mrs. Kozlosky, "Don't forget your snow pants and boots for the snow hills." Nevaeh said, "It was a fun day."

The sidekicks went to music.  We have a new music room. It is on the 3rd floor.  We learned a new song.  We sang songs from the movie Frozen. The supers went to art.  We rolled marbles on indigo or blue paper plates.  The marbles had white paint on them.  It made a cool design on the plate. Khalil said, "It was great day".

We did writing today.  We wrote about what we got for Christmas.  Supers tried to write four sentences, Sidekicks tried to write as much as they can.  We worked on only having capital letters at the beginning of our sentences and periods at the end.  Henry said, "writing was fun."
