We had a very peaceful, ordinary day today. How pleasant routine can be in a classroom!
We did some review for the spelling portion of the Open Court test, and we did the first draft of our composition on a "Memorable Time I Spent with a Friend", the assigned topic for the writing portion of the exam. So far most of them look pretty good. We also had a blast in Music as we turned our Marco Polo poem into a two-part percussion piece and then improvised dance phrases to go with it. We'll videotape it tomorrow for the end-of-the-year DVD.
In the afternoon, we did the chapter 8 math test. Results are posted on the gradebook.
Homework: (1) Study spelling for the test tomorrow. (2) Crossword puzzle. We started this in class and discussed strategies. Pay particular attention to the number of letters for each answer and check the word box for answers of that length. (3) Types of Lines, Math, pages 372-373, 1-12 only.

These crosswords are more of a puzzle than they ought to be I think! The clues are confusing, because sometimes they don't match the answers (one is present, one is past tense, for example, or the clue describes a noun but the answer is a verb). Also some of the words, such as "apathetic" are TOO HARD FOR THIRD GRADE!
