What is round, has toppings and is cut in slices to eat?...

PIZZA

Using our imaginations and brainstorming toppings, we made our own pizzas! We then cut our pizzas in halves, fourths and eighths! 

Fraction word problems in our math journal...

                       Now it's time to ...

EAT IT!!!!!!!!!!!

 We have also been enjoying our cultural study of Spain.  In the library, Mrs. Osmer taught the children about the "tooth mouse" that visits children in Spain.  Each child received one of their own!  We also enjoyed a visit from Merritt's mother, Haden Payne.   She talked about the summer she spent in Spain.  She wore an authentic dance dress that was designed for her to perform in.  On Friday, we will be sharing about New Years in Spain. If possible, please allow your child to wear bright colored clothes and bring New Years hats and horns. It will be New Years in Spain behind the blue door. Several elementary classes will be visiting our room and the commons area.   We will also visit different classrooms to see their displays and learn more about the culture in Spain. 

We will be celebrating the 100th Day of School this Wednesday with special rotation stations and a few special surprises! We will begin at 8:30.
