The Queen of Ten


Monday was the 90th day of school...we had a visit from the Queen of Ten!!!!!! She gave us a SUPER CHALLENGING  word problem to figure out!!! It had to do with making kid friendly sushi. The Queen of Ten told us that she will NOT be visiting on the 100 day of school, instead the King will be coming!!! We immediately starting making predictions.  Who could be the King of 100???
We are eagerly counting down the days until the 100 day celebration.

Making Sushi

A great big special thanks to Evan's mom for coming in and making kid friendly Sushi in honor of Yoko one of our favorite characters from Rosemary Wells books! We had a blast!!!!!! We hope to make a How To Story on Voice Thread.

Learning Spanish

We had a lot of fun yesterday with Mrs. Talma and Mrs. Murray! We sang to two songs in Spanish. We took turns saying our favorite color. We listened to a color song and jumped up if we were wearing that color. We listened to the Hungry Caterpillar in Spanish!
