In Math, we practiced using the three addition properties we learned yesterday:  Commutative, Identity, and Associative.  This afternoon, the students were split up into groups for different tasks:  working on the final drafts of their personal narratives, recording their reading goals, listening to a book on tape, reading with a parent, practicing spelling words, and working with common and proper nouns.  We'll finish rotating the groups to all of the centers tomorrow.  In Science, the students measured their plants and got to look at real honeybees that had died naturally and were collected and dried for our use!  Of course the class was grossed out by the thought of touching them!  They looked for different parts of their bees:  head, thorax, abdomen, legs, head, antennae, and wings.  Then, they glued their bees to the ends of toothpicks for us to use later on when we pollinate our plants!

Tomorrow, students have an opportunity to retake the Social Studies quiz over the West, Southwest, and Midwest states. 

Homework for today is...
Spelling p. 31-32
Math worksheet (Lesson 2-1)
Read Balto, the Dog Who Saved Nome during 20 minutes of reading
