Limin' in My Garden

I started off today by practicing writing the letter O in upper case and lower case. I also practiced writing the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4. I'm getting use to writing my name and the date on the top of all my papers. Today I remembered how to spell the word June all on my own. Last night I surprised my dad by remembering how to spell the word cat. This morning when I got stuck on how to spell cat again I sounded out the letters just like in the Talking Word Factory video. Later, I filled in the blanks on the parts of a sprouting plant. We read the book "Mystery Vine" by Cathryn Falwell and summarized the story by using a sequencing graphic organizer. Afterward I played my first game of chess. It's pretty cool even though I didn't win. Later on today I'm going to play chess again in my garden. Speaking of the garden, I went and checked on it after my studies. The string beans are sprouting and the strawberry buds are blossoming. I played some reggae music for the garden and just limed. My dad says that's island talk for relaxing. I decided I had relaxed enough and asked if we could go back to the library. I returned some books and checked out some more. I like the library. I also got ready for our field trip this afternoon by typing in my address and then the words Phipps Conservatory into Google Maps. It gave me directions and a map on how to get there so I could go to the farmer's market. I filled out a KWL chart on a farmer's market. Before going, I knew what a farmer was and that some had cows and pigs. I didn't know what a market was and I wanted to know if any of the farmers have pumpkins. I didn't ask my question about pumpkins, but I did find out that a market is a place where people buy and sell things. I bought a delicious slice of watermelon and a bag of homemade chocolate chip cookies. 

This is me practicing writing the letter O.

The mystery vine was pumpkins. I'm growing pumpkins too.
