Wink ;)

A lot of our kids do not know how to wink! Today, I asked them to come give me a wink once they read the entire morning text message and although most, if not all, came out, a lot of them didn't know how to wink! At least they are reading the text message!

Today is crazy Thursday so we had our morning meeting before special. We shared what we ate for breakfast and then read, Juice Box Bully, a book about not being a bystander when it comes to bullying and how to stand up for others. Then, we played category challenge with the category of colors. Kyler won with 15! After our mindset special, we finished up Jack's section in Wonder. Julian has completely turned all the boys against Jack so he's feeling ostracized. Luckily, he and August have made up so he has Auggie and Summer to help him out. After read aloud, we read independently/visited the library, completed some main idea/supporting details work in StoryWorks and wrote using our 5 senses in Writer's Workshop. We made it outside for recess and then during quiet time, one of our kiddos fell and hit his head and ended up heading for stitches so, quiet time wasn't so quiet and relaxing. However, after settling down, we went over our M4T (Math 4 Today) and then worked on applying the skills/concepts we've been learning through real world problems. Some kiddos finished up their work with Ms. Hanlin, some finished their projects on Roman Numerals and others worked with me to better solidify their subtraction understanding. At the end of math, students "signed up" for when they would like to take their unit test. Here's what they feel:
No worries if they try to take it tomorrow and decide they need more practice or still aren't ready on Tuesday. The goal is for them to understand the information-no matter how long it takes. 

There were some auditions at the end of the day so that's kind of how we ended our day. It was very chaotic!
