Teamwork

Today we worked on a creation mural.  It was also a great lesson on teamwork.  The students were split into three groups and had planning and delegation time before they had a project amount of time to complete their portion of the mural.  It turned out beautifully!

3rd graders will be retaking their math test tomorrow and fourth and fifth will be continuing with their assignments in chapter two.

In science we are continuing to talk about the different aspects of health and how important it is to have family and friends as a support system.

Today we continued our study in verbs with past tense verbs and in writing we are studying how to make a correct paragraph and how important good sequencing is.  Here is a great video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4j2W6Dp7ro.

In reading strategies we continued talking about how to make connections to what we are reading.  

Our quote for today is, “If we could follow the slogan that says,"Turn off the TV and open a good book" we would do something of substance for a future generation.”
