We had a busy, busy day today, but accomplished a lot! We started with Reading Workshop, where the students continued with our literature study, Henry and the Clubhouse. They should now be reading Chapter 3, if not finished reading it.
The new Spelling words are posted, along with some super words that the children are expected to study as well. This week's memory verse is another long one. I promised the students next week's would be shorter. :)
Before recess we had a game of soccer, and then afterwards we went on to Writing Workshop, where the focus of the lesson was on using precise verbs, descriptive words, and avoiding VBO's (Vague, Boring and Overused words, such as good, nice, sad, bad, big, small, etc.)
During Math, the students are continuing to work on their patterning skills. The 4's were doing some pre-algebra work today (ask them about it!), and the 3's were using snap cubes to make decreasing patterns.
After lunch we had Science, and did a couple of experiments which demonstrated sound waves. Ask your kids about our failed glass experiment, as well as our successful slinky experiment.
I led chapel today, and we talked about the importance of obeying God, and what to do when we disobey Him, our teacher, our leaders, our parents, and our coaches.
