Today, after Morning Work Time and Morning Meeting, we practiced all of the phonics sounds that we have learned this year - both letter names and letter sounds. Then we opened some more Flat Stanley mail - Kieran got an envelope with some cool postcards from his grandmother in Chicago. After "mail call," we dorked on a math game called Racing Bears, in which the kids practiced combining and taking numbers apart (the beginnings of addition and subtraction).

After math, we did our April self-portraits to hang in the gallery on the wall of our room, and them worked to finish up the "What I did over spring break" writing from ealier in the week.

After writing, we headed up to the computer lab for our time there, and then went back down to go outside for a little recess (who can resist this weather??). It was then time to pack up and go home.

Enjoy your weekend!!
