Oh, What a Day

Today is the first day we have all been back together as a class since our holiday break!  Wow!  We had a fabulous day all together!  We played Pax games, and we even played our longest game yet- 90 minutes!  This was a *very* long time, so we upped our spleems to 8.  Two groups did not earn ANY spleems in that whole time!  Our Granny's Whacky Prize was to stand on our chairs and JUMP OFF!  Yikes!  Don't tell anyone... because that is definitely NOT allowed!  Granny is super whacky sometimes. 

We are really excited because we're going to start playing Pax games at dismissal and on the bus.  We are Pax experts so we're looking forward to helping our friends. 

Today in math we practiced measuring to the nearest centimeter, played addition Top-It, and rolled dice to make the largest 3-digit number we could.

In literacy we read an informational book about ships and boats. We learned how to pronounce the word trirmeme (its Greek), and learned more about Chinese junk ships.  We had a GREAT day!
