TGIF

Normally I’m not part of the “Thank God it’s Friday” crowd, but after the last arduous days of testing I admit I am looking forward to a couple days off. Particularly when one of them will be our Country Fair tomorrow!

Today we corrected our homework first thing, and then took our spelling test. Results for the test are on the Gradebook. We reread the “Just Plain Fancy” story, and discussed why the Amish think certain things are “fancy” and others are “plain.” The students had some good insights here.

After recess we read about food webs and made some models of these. You can see a couple of these above. We had a good discussion here about predators and prey.

We had rotations during PE today, and we finished up by reviewing the procedures for multiplying three digit by two digit numbers.

Homework:  (1) Finish the “Fancy” questions. (2) Finish the science questions on E 21. (3) Do the multiplication worksheet.
