The Magic Trains:
1.) Reviewed words that start with “v” such as “valentine” and “violin” during Morning Meeting.
2.) Had a wonderful time at “Personal Ponies”. We saw the goats, ponies and chickens and we even painted a beautiful pony named Neatherly. She is white but we painted her pink and purple. Then we let two wonderful ponies out so they could run in the sun!
3.) Sang our favorite songs with Deanna and the Diener Dinosaurs. We shared our instruments such as the triangle, rhythm sticks and maracas.

The Mighty Dieners:
1.) In Math, we read a poem about the penny and the nickel. Using the detail words in the poem, we drew what we pictured the coin to look like. We checked our coin pictures to compare with a real coin.
2.) In Art, Ms. Feinberg read us a story! Then we got to pick our favorite part of the story and draw a picture of it!
3.) During, Auditory Stories, we listened to a short story read by Ms. Kate. She asked us a couple questions about the story, so we really had to listen and pay attention! Then we got a picture that went with the story and listen carefully again as Ms. Kate gave us directions on how to color it!

The Golden Owls:
We had a great Friday in the Golden Owls!
1.) In reading we continued to use our graphic organizers to help us write a summary about the story we read. We also answered questions along the way about our reading. We then wrapped up our reading period while brainstorming about different nouns that describe the main character in the book.
2.) We listened to our peers while they presented their book talks on The True Story of Balto, Sable, and When I am Quiet on O'Ahu! We saw a beautiful poster and a mobile! Wow!
3.) In art with Ms. Feinberg we drew a picture of our favorite part of a book! It was such fun and we were able to pretend we were an illustrator!
