We are creating animal clay shakers. First, we made a clay ball. Second, we cut the ball in half. Next, we dug out the inside of the halves and made little clay balls. We then wrapped the clay balls in a towel so they would not stick together and dry. We placed them inside of the large clay ball and put back together. Once this is dry, we will decorate it to look like an animal using other pieces of clay.

In reading we are learning about nonfiction text features. Some types of text features are: Table of Contents, Heading, Bold Print, Captions, and Maps.
In writing we are working on 'Bossy R' words. Some examples are: war, star, Mars, and far. Two fun sentences with bossy R:

1. I touch a star and it is very hot!

2. I go to Mars and have a war with the aliens.

Check out the video below of my solving a problem subtraction with regrouping and picture of a bar model problem.
