From Elise's school: Good afternoon! Today we talked about the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Ms Chiara told them the words yesterday in Italian. We discussed that it is a bell tower, has 8 stories, is leaning because of the soft soil. We made a leaning tower picture with little square papers. We made towers with play-doh. Friends took turns learning sight words on my kindle. We also started reading the reader Go! Go! Go! They had German. They learned the color words and some words for veggies and fruit. 

What is something you learned about the Leaning Tower of Pisa today?

Elise- I learned that it has 8 floors. 

From Elise's Reading Club: Hello, On Monday, we worked on the words and, for. We also made patterns with Lego blocks for some math practice. On Tuesday, we worked on beginning sounds. We also played with flipbook Spelling + Counting. We wine over sight words flash cards. On Wednesday , we worked on reviewing some sight words. We worked on beginning sounds and ending sounds of CVC words. On Thursday, we learned the color word gray. We completed a Barnyard

Colors sheet. We rolled some dice and wrote the numbers that came up and did some adding.

Jonathan had a rough day yesterday, and beyond my expectations, he apparently pulled himself together to get back in to good graces in class today. I may owe him a lunch date at school!
