Today was the last day for 2013 Patterson’s Pack to be together because Mrs. Patterson’s daughter is playing in the VA state tennis tournament. It was hard to say goodbye today but we had a concert by Mrs. Patterson’s son, Ryan and his friend Parker. Then we learned to “Flat Foot” dance and made some picture frames to hold our friends and memories. It’s been a good year.

Some of the boys in our class are a little bit obsessed with the Green Bay Packers. During Buddy Writing a couple of weeks ago some of them wrote to them and Mrs. Patterson mailed the art and letters.
TODAY we got a package from them. It contained a letter, pencils and post cards. WOW! I think we are all Green Bay Fans now!
How to Have Nice Manners by Lillee
We ordered a new cage for Jilly Boo from Piggy Bedspreads. Jilly Boo likes her new cage. We picked out the polka dots. We voted to decide on the fabric and then ordered it. The cage came yesterday! It is 10 squares around. It has three squares on two of the sides and two squares on the other two sides. The bottom is made of coroplast. We folded up the sides and taped them. Then we put on the piggy bedspread. We put Jilly Boo in it to let her run around. We could tell she liked it. While we were watching her, Mrs. Patterson put on the square sides. We added her hay box, water bottle, food dish and her couch. We left Jilly Boo and the cage in the middle of our carpet but then we moved her to the reading spot so we could read to her during buddy reading.
We have been studying motion this week. Today, we played this fun game about pushes and pulls.
We have done lots of experiments mixing matter (solids and liquids). We also looked at some matter under our Digital microscope.
Our whole school is reading The Chocolate Touch by Patrick Skene Catling. We are having a great time answering trivia questions that our Principal asks on the Morning Announcements and in ART we got to finger paint with CHOCOLATE PUDDING! It was delicious!
