Today, after morning work time and Morning Meeting, we had math class. We continue with our Geometry unit - right now, we are working on attributes and qualities of three-dimensional shapes. Today we brainstormed a list of things that are in a cone shape, and then we figured out what are the essential characteristics of a cone (what makes a cone a cone).

After that, we had reading class. We are working on sight words, so we quickly reviewed several sight words, and then we learned how to play "memory" or "concentration" using small flashcards. Tomorrow we will play the game, because just then it was time to head up to the music room for class.

When we got back down to the classroom, we had Ms. Barb (Ryan E.'s mom) back in to read. She read two books to the kids: The Mysterious Tadpole, and Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

After all of that, it was time to pack up and head for home.
