Daily Message: February 25
What do you call a poem (or part of a poem) with two lines, each of which end in rhyming words? A couplet, of course! This morning the children wrote and illustrated original couplets.
We began math class by sharing a book about money. I was truly impressed with the way the children solved the problems presented in the book. Next we practiced adding three numbers, taking special note that it doesn't matter which two of the three numbers you add first.
In recognition of the book festival, our Famous Face this week is Beatrix Potter. Today we shared perhaps her most famous book, "The Tale of Peter Rabbit." Before I began to read one of the children remarked that she had this book in her collection of "baby books." However, after enjoying the story (and considering lines like "implored him to exert himself), the children agreed that it was a great story for all ages. You might check to see whether your child can remember the meanings of implored and exert.
Today in health we continued with the next stop of our experiment to help us answer the question; "Does toothpaste really help protect teeth?" Next we looked at three teeth categories (molars, canines and incisors) and how they relate to animals that are herbivores or carnivores or omnivores.
As a part of the book festival there will be a used book sale in the cafeteria after lunch each day this week. Hard cover books are 50 cents and soft cover books are 25 cents. You might remind your child to break open his piggy bank; it's hard to find a better bargain than this.
The children loved making snow sculptures during recess.
