101 Day and more

 This past week we continued to review reading comprehension strategies; compare and contrast and cause and effect.  We practiced more counting money and addition and subtraction in regrouping in math.  In science we did a little experimenting with magnets.  We also started working on writing a story which will be submitted for the Reading Rainbow contest. (deadline is March 30, 2012)  We will write, type, and illustrate our story here in the classroom. 

Our 101 day was lots of fun.  We made dog ears and collars with our dog names on them.  We read and wrote a Dalmatian poem which we are still trying to finish publishing on the ipods. We read about dalmatians and played a few fun activities on the computer.  We used money to make 101 cents in different ways, we estimated and rolled dice to 101.  For our snack we had dog bones, Scooby Doo dog treats of course.  It was a fun and memorable day.
