 This morning we kicked off the day with a word study, focusing on words with the prefix tele. 

We made connections using this information to help us gain an understanding of other words with the prefix tele. 

In music we did a little name voting of a paper mascot that Claire made for the music classroom. We landed on Melody or Jellupa. After that we went over the expectations of the music room and we played a name game! We shared a little bit about our winter break, and then we started playing a game where we had to call numbers and listen for each other. 

We recorded our weather and disocvered that the low temperature today is -19. BRRR.

After snack we read the last chapter of Part Two in A Rover's Story. Res and Fly finally received code from NASA. They are preparing for landing!  We watched real footage of the Perseverance Rover making a safe landing on Mars. 

We completed two rotations of our literacy centers. We focused on Poetry, Writing and reading responses.

There was lots of creative choice during Mindful Maker today:  

We worked on error analysis of addition and subtraction questions in math. 

Finally, at the end of the day we reviewed our picture hunt of the regions, talked about what MAKES a region, and completed a quick draw of our home region; interior plaines.
