Monday Notes: Wow! This day was busy! At Reader’s Workshop, we used the dictionary to look up our vocabulary words. Then we illustrated a passage from a book to show how we visualized the details. We had literature circles too. We watched a program about PRONOUNS and found all the pronouns in a song called, “The Girl Is Mine!” After lunch, we worked on PARALLEL and INTERSECTING lines. Ms. Streib’s class visited and we worked on finishing up some of the pages in our Monroe County History books. Great news! Tammi and Allijah worked on an essay contest at Banneker Center at the View. They won and are going to travel to Washington to see the inauguration! WOW!!!! Congratulations!!!!
Tuesday Notes: This morning we had gym and music. When Ms. H. picked us up from music, we were singing wintry songs! We worked on our podcast scripts and we are almost ready to record. We took another acuity test after lunch. We also learned more about “parallel” and “intersecting” lines and worked in our math books. We were hoping for more snow today!
Thursday Notes: We began the day with a morning meeting and then we talked about Jim Thorpe. We found out that the Olympic committee took away his medals when they found out he had played professional baseball. Then they gave the medals back to his kids after he died. In the afternoon we learned more about building the school in Pakistan. We worked in our sketchbooks. After library, we had a social studies lesson on democracy. In a democracy everyone is expected to vote.
