Today we started with unfinished work, and then got into our language arts lesson. We worked with past tense verbs and synonyms. We did some acting out of our robust vocabulary and then did centers. We had lunch followed by another lesson on midpoints and shapes. We took our Unit 8 test before heading to computer. Unfortunately we earned 10 tallies, so snack got cancelled :( :( We went to PE, wrapped up our science journals, and headed home! REMINDERS: Book orders due next Tuesday the 8th!

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a relaxing spring break. Today we got into the swing of things by having a little sharing time to talk about what we did last week.

Mon. March 17-St. Patty's Day

Hope your Monday's are off to a great start! We began today with our Lesson 21 spelling pre-test. This week we will be working with the or sound, when spelled 'or' and 'ou.' We did a few practice exercises with this before doing some review smartboard work. We got into new Daily 5 centers. One of the centers gives the students the chance to make a short book about the life of one of their classmates (tying in with our biography unit from a few lessons back). They are having fun with this. We had lunch followed by science. We journaled in our notebooks about different types of plants found in a woodland and prairie environment. We had PE and library. Then we did a math lesson on graphing before taking a break for snack. We ended the day with RTI.

Tuesday, March 11-Junie B Jones

We had a great morning writing biographies about our classmates! Then we enjoyed going to St. Scholastica for the performance of Junie B. Jones! The kids had a blast and loved it. Reminders: We are in need of newspaper that is cut into one inch strips, like for the Christmas wreaths. So far we have 0. Over the next few weeks if you could collect and bring this in, it would be much appreciated :) Thank you!
