    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 learned more about numbers to 120 such as identifying the place value of the digits, comparing, ordering and.solving more or less of a number. 

    History: This week, students learned about the slavery in the colonies and the pilgrims who sailed in the Mayflower. They created a mini book to outline the main ideas of their journeys.


    Science: Students finished their "All About Oceans" foldable. They had fun reviewing what has been learned about the ocean so far. Students were introduced to the landforms: bay, harbor, island, and peninsula. 

    Have a great weekend!
