    Poetry: 
    There Once Was a Puffin 
    by Florence Page Jacques

    Oh, there once was a Puffin 
    Just the shape of a muffin, 
    And he lived on an island
    In the bright blue sea!

    He ate little fishes,
    That were most delicious, 
    And he had them for supper 
    And he had them for tea.

    But this poor little Puffin, 
    He couldn’t play nothin’, 
    For he hadn’t anybody 
    To play with at all.

    So he sat on his island,
    And he cried for awhile, 
    and He felt very lonely,
    And he felt very small.

    Then along came the fishes, 
    And they said, “If you wishes, 
    You can have us for playmates, 
    Instead of for tea!”

    So they now play together,
    In all sorts of weather,
    And the Puffin eats pancakes, 
    Like you and like me.

    Math: We started our unit on numbers 1 to 120. We reviewed how counting the tens/ones, comparing and ordering numbers to 40.

    History: This week, we continued the story of the early settlers who came to Roanoke Island and Jamestown and tried to survive there. We learned about their leaders, John White and John Smith, and also how the native, Pocahontas, helped the English. 

    Science: Students continued making their ocean foldable this week. They continued learning about currents, waves, and the underwater landscapes that include deep trenches! Students also learning about coral reefs, where they can be found in the ocean, and the many different types that exist.

    Have a great week!
