Mrs. Everett started the day with devotions, and then I administered the Spelling Test and memory verse test afterwards.  We followed this with Reading Workshop, where the students continued on their work with Henry and the Clubhouse.

During Math, the Grade 3 students used snap cubes to study decreasing (shrinking) patterns, and the Grade 4's played a game with pattern blocks. 

For Writing Workshop today, we learned about complete sentences, and everyone hopefully understood that each sentence needs a subject and a verb (a 'who' and a 'what').  Give your child an example of an incomplete sentence and see if they can fix it this weekend!

The students are loving using All the Right Type, and we spent 20 minutes on it today during Computers.  I'm emphasizing the importance of keeping their fingers on the home row of the keyboard, which is proving to be challenging for many! 

After lunch we had Science, and continued our work with the decibel meter, walking around the school and finding loud and quiet sound sources (making predictions and then recording our results).

The children ended the day with P.E. with Mr. Banman.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!  We'll see you next in Autumn! :)
