Two for Tuesday!

It was sure nice to see all of my busy bees today! I missed everyone after a long weekend away! Today we had a visitor with us all day... my friend Miss Amanda. She came to visit from IL on Saturday and due to the hurricane her flight on Monday was canceled and rescheduled for tomorrow! We had quite a fun time having two teachers in the room to help today! Despite all the fun we had, Amanda has decided to stick to teaching high school science instead of 1st grade! ;-)

This week in reading we are working on short "i" words. I have updated the spelling words so you have them on the site as well. We're still adding in math... feel free to practice addition facts with your children at home when you can... or even in the car! In social studies we learned about our citizen hero Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad. Science was a great time as we learned about how animals move. We played a game of animal charades as we acted out the movements of different animals. We had some real monkeys in there today! Haha!
