Sorry about our hiatus from blogging!  Our blogger was gone multiple days last week and the days' notes never seemed to make it to Miss Staudt's desk...oops!  We're back though!

We had WINGS today and learned what to do if someone says something mean to you.  In music the kindergarteners were there with us.  We had science and learned about germs - yuck!  We had our spelling pretest and the words all start with dis- or un-.  We had guidance with Mrs. Despenas.  In writing we did a timed write for 20 minutes about how to clean your room up.

In the morning we had to do our jobs.  Then we had to do some reading until announcements.  After that we did reading and we read One Grain of Rice.  The people didn't have a lot of food beacuse the Raja wasn't sharing the food with the people.  Then we changed his mind becasue one person gave him his grain back.  After that we went to IC checkout and the computer lab.  Then we did science.  Then we handed out our Valentine's candy while Miss Staudt was reading Toad Range.  After recess we had Mrs. Zanios, PE and our Valentine's Day party.
