Taking Care of Business

Today I practiced writing the numbers 9 and 10. I watched the video The Life Cycle of a Plant again. I finished a worksheet where I labeled the parts of a seedling; seed, roots, sprout, stem, and leaf. I wrote the words seed, sprout, and root in my Science Journal and the words explore, neighborhood, and neighbor in my Social Studies Journal. I completed two assessments today. The first one was on the sounds every letter makes. I got 23 of the sounds correct. I need to practice the sounds that the G, N, and U make. Because I did so well on that assessment I got to move up to the video The Talking Word Factory. I learned today that when I put the sounds of letters together, the sounds make words. My second assessment was on recognizing the numbers 1-100. I only missed six numbers, they were 14, 16, 40, 50, 80, and 90. We read the book "Maisy Grows a Garden" by Lucy Cousins. I completed a Reading Response Journal graphic organizer that I used to summarize the story and predict what would happen next. I also got to draw pictures. Finally, I checked on my garden. I spent some time watering the plants and talking to them. I told them all about how the Pittsburgh Penguins lost the game last night and the Boston Bruins won. I also hammered the fence. When I was finished for the morning my Uncle Brad stopped by to see my garden.

I water the plants every day.

This is me watering more plants.

I water the garden every day, unless it rains.
