This morning we got to start our day with some fun Apple Schools activity circuits in the gym.  We did side bends, hopscotch, gorilla walk, bench squats, elephant walk, inchworm walk, and bean bag toss.

In phonics today we learned two new word families (keys): ick, ask.
Some words we made are: kick, pick, lick, cask, mask, and Alaska.

In Health we continued to discuss feelings.  Today we taked about feeling proud and how doing good things and working hard makes as feel good - PROUD!  We even learned how a little red monster we all now feels pride sometimes and sang about it with his friends the Goo Goo Dolls.

Later in the day we were really excited to start using computers.  To help me out in the classroom, it would be great if students could practice the following at home:

1. Open the internet
2. Delete the address in the address bar
3. Input the following address:  tiny.cc/1E
4. Press Enter
5. Once our class site has loaded, click on the "Computer Class" link on the sidebar.

This afternoon in Social Studies we learned about different communities we live in - from large to small.
