A Fun Day by Owen W.

Today was a great day! We did our DOL, we practiced finding the area on a bunch of different shapes, we worked on our possessive pronouns, and we read a Time for Kids news magazine (it was about an astronaut by the name of John Glenn) all this morning! We also had PE and Music class!

This afternoon we listened to a bunch of stories. One of them was called "Beware for the Bears!" It showed how the three bears got revenge on Goldilocks after she broke into their house. They thought it was Goldilocks house, but it turned out to be the house of the Big, BAD Wolf! It was so funny! They dumped cereal on the floor, and put shaving cream around the bathroom and they broke the couch!

During math we talked about capacity! Miss O'Sullivan told us a story about a beautiful island called Galapagos (Gallon). There lived 4 beautiful queens (quarts). Each queen (quart) had 2 princes (pints) that wanted to marry her. In order to gain the attention of the queens (quarts), each prince (pint) brought 2 of their fluffiest canaries (cups) in order to impress the queen. This story taught us that there are 4 QUARTS in a GALLON. There are 2 PINTS in one QUART and 8 PINTS in a GALLON. There are also 2 CUPS in a PINT, and 16 CUPS in a GALLON. If we can draw the picture of the Galapagos Islands, it will really help us to remember!

Have a good night!
Owen W.
