A snake is a reptile because they are cold blooded.

A snake is very long but they don`t feel slimy. They look like a giant worm but they are a snake.
They taste the air with their tongue and until they can catch their food.

I feel good about snakes because they can find their food with their tongue.

Today

In maths today the imaginary numbers and the pi eaters were using tidy numbers to solve multiplication problems.
In reading Ali's groups are practicing for some plays they will perform in front of the class on Friday.  They are using their fluent voices with, appropriate volume, annunciation, holding their book down and remembering to keep their face to the audience.  The curious commas finished their moon movie for assembly, the fuzzy wuzzy fullstops finished learning about erosion and the ninjas created a weather vane. 
We talked about the mid winter swim ( chilly dip) which is happening on the last day of term, can't wait.
A very busy day.
