Today, after Morning Work Time and Morning Meeting, we got to read Ava's Star of the Week poster (nice job, Ava!). After Star of the Week, we met two new High Hat friends in our phonics lesson. We met Thelma Thumb and Shy Shadow. After reading the stories, we brainstormed words that contained those sounds. Then we learned a new song - "Rhyming Teddy Bear." The kids sang along, and then had to fill in rhyming words.

After that, we headed up to the Media Center for our class time there with Mrs. Hennen. When we got back down to the classroom, we looked at a couple of the Flat Stanley postings on the blog. If you haven't looked in a while, check it out (http://flat-stanley-145.blogspot.com/). We then had a little bit of Choice Time, and then packed up to go home.
