Pizza, Weather, and Grocery Shopping!

Monster Points
Today we voted on what kind of party we wanted to have once we all have AT LEAST 20 points.  Pizza Party won!  The kids are super excited to eat lunch with our special guests, Carson and Ava (my kids)! The party will be held the Friday after we all earn the 20 points.  We are hoping for next Friday :o) 


Grocery Shopping and Making Change
Thank you to everyone who helped out by bringing in your grocery ads.  We had a blast shopping for groceries and figuring out what change we would get if we paid the cashier with one dollar.  We learned that we can count up from the price of our item until we get to one dollar.  This is useful when we are out in the real world and don't have a pencil and paper... subtraction with regrouping is a little tricky to do in our heads :o) 




Weather
Today we began our new science unit on weather.  We created a KWL chart so that we can see what we already know about it, and also asked ourselves what we want to learn.  Its always best to learn with a goal in mind.  The kids are eager to fill out the L column and tell what they learned as we move through this exciting unit. 

Stay dry out there! What a perfect day to start learning about weather...
