Learning about anatomy

Our class loves to learn high level vocabulary words.  This week our focus is on anatomy of ladybugs.  Today we reviewed many of the body parts and sang a song to help us practice them.  Next week we'll apply our learning to write observations on real ladybugs. 
In chapel this morning we heard from Pastor Andy who taught us how Jesus is the 'Lion of Judah'.  This year we are learning many of the names of Jesus and what they mean.  Each one gives us a deeper understanding of the Lord's character.
After chapel we wrote in our writing journals and had one of the best focused writing periods of the year.  We are seeing our students become confident writers!
We played a game of geometric shapes in math and won table points for working together well.
In reading we responded in writing to our new text on planting a garden.
At the end of the day we played to learn by building words, shapes, doing OSMO games with a partner and painting.

Our mice, Sam and Sarah are living happily in our library now.  We suspect they get out at night, though...we see the sawdust on the floor and they write us notes.  Hmmm...it's a mystery.

Enjoy the mysteries of life!
