Stone Soup




Today in honor of our reader story for the week...we made Stone Soup!   Okay well, the stones MAY have been marshmallows and rather than adding onions, carrots, and other veggies we MAY have added candy corn, cheetohs, and other snacks...but it was our version of the story anyway. :) We all worked together to add the ingredient and found that having fun and snacking together made us happy just like the villagers in the story.

No School Friday!

There will be no school on Friday due to a teacher's meeting!  All tests will be given on Thursday. NO COSTUMES AT SCHOOL on halloween please. :)

Land of Gallon Games

Today we learned about capacity.  It turns out there is a kingdom far away called the Land of Gallon where there are 4 Queens (quarts), each having a Prince and a Princess (2 pints), and each Prince and Princess has 2 Cats (cups). :)  In the afternoon the students participated in the Land of Gallon Games where they were challenged to use their knowledge of capacity to complete 4 challenges.  Fun!
