Hello ~ Long time, no see! Our play has taken control of us! We hit the floor running in the morning and sing Stone Soup songs all day long!
We hope to do a better job of keeping reflecting at the end of the day AFTER Stone Soup is over!
It's hectic in Munchkinland - more soon, Mrs. S. and the Munchers

Veterans Day
Dear Parents,
Today we made our American flag pencil toppers and read about Veterans Day. We drew pictures and wrote little notes of thanks and appreciation to our soldiers. I will send them off this weekend. The children did a very nice job and I know the servicemen and women will love getting these beautiful creations.
Tomorrow we have guidance and lots of spelling to catch up on from today.
Happy Veterans Day, Mrs. S., Mrs. J. and the Munchers

Tuesday, November 10
We have been so busy using every spare moment to practice our Stone Soup play or give our Native American project presentations, that we have given up reflecting for this week.
We have 3 presentations left to give as of this writing! All of them have been very nice - you can surely tell the hard work the children and families have put in to make these happen! Thank you very much for your support.
Tomorrow is Veterans Day. We will learn just a little about the day and color and create American flag pencil toppers. With the sad events last week, I felt compelled to at least honor the day in a small way.
Your child may wear Red/White/Blue tomorrow if he/she would like.
Friday will be our surprise reward party! Your child could wear blue jeans and a hat to go with our surprise theme if they would like. Floppy hats would be the most fun, but any hat will do!
More soon, Mrs. S. and the Munchies

Thursday, Nov. 5
Each group of desks (children) chose a name for their tribe. We have the Pups, Teddy Bears and Snack Eyes! It was wonderful to watch the children work this out on their own.
Today we practiced counting by 25s and making change.
We had library and gym and Spanish today. Tomorrow is our spelling test.

This is a little late - bus duty is cramping Mrs. Swenson's style! :)
On Wednesday, Mrs. Johnson was gone, so we had Mrs. Swenson all day. We learned about "2 rule" frames and arrows and did a very hard bar graph activity.
We moved our desks into 3 groups instead of 2 and are sitting by friends. Each group needs to come up with a "tribe" name. So far we have Snake Eyes and 2 other groups that are talking it over.
We had technology. We drew pictures of native americans and typed a sentence to go with it in Kid Pix. Next time we'll add our voices reading the sentences to make a short movie. Hopefully, you will be able to view it somewhere online.
A great day. Mrs. S. and kids

Tuesday Afternoon
Today we got our Stone Soup Scripts - we found out how many lines we have and when we will sing. We're very excited!!
Today we also had gym and played Dollar Rummy in math!
It was a good day, but went by fast! We're trying to sneak in some Sharing time!
All for today~

Today we used the Smart Board to play a new math game with basic addition facts. We also played a game called "build a number." Both were lots of fun.
We learned some of the songs to Stone Soup and talked about the play. Tomorrow or Wednesday we might get our parts to begin practice.
We learned that the Woodland Indians would talk around their campfires and could only talk if they were holding the "talking stick!" :) (Maybe 2nd grade needs one of those?)
Good night from Munchkinland
