A nice day, but almost a complete repeat of yesterday! We just had a different chapter in The Cay and a different math lesson. Well, I guess it’s the season for reruns on TV, too!

Homework:  (1) Write spelling words 6 to 10 five times each in cursive. Write one sentence for each as well. (2) Do “Classifying Words” worksheets. (3) Do “Interpreting Graphs” pages 384-385 in the math book. Also do “Graphing True of False” on the back of the answer sheet. (4) Do the “Multiplication” and “Fractions” study sheets.

Field Trip Pix

I seem to have had a blog brain freeze in the last couple weeks. I guess it’s the play and having my mind preoccupied with some other stuff.

Here are a couple pictures from our field trip to the IMAX theater and the California Science Center. They loved the 3-D movie, particularly the glasses!

The hurricane simulator was a big hit.

Here are a few from the Autry Museum. The gold panning was definitely the best part.
