We started today as we do every first Monday of the month, with an assembly. Mr. Morrow talked about some upcoming events (the long weekend and the earthquake drill on October 17th to name a couple), and then sent us on our way.
For Reading Workshop today we started Chapter 4 of 'Henry and the Clubhouse'. The students also listened to another chapter of 'Matilda'.
They had a Spelling Pre-test (yes, there is Spelling this week, but the list is short and the words are quite simple), but no memory verse this week.
For D.P.A. we enjoyed a game of soccer in the gym, and then the students had an indoor recess due to the rain.
During Writing Workshop we worked on a little surprise for you for Thanksgiving, and that's all I'll say about that! ;)
The students found out today that they will have a Math test on Wednesday. I told them that they can bring their textbooks and duotangs home to review and make sure their corrections are done if they'd like to.
After lunch (the rain let up so they could play outside for a while) we had Science and we played a neat game in the gym where we found out if we can hear the same way bats do (using echolocation). Then we returned to the class and the students tried an experiment where they closed their eyes, had a book in front of them and spoke, then did the same without a book in front of them (noticing the echo). We also discussed how when humans make noise it's done via vibrations in the vocal chords, and we looked at a diagram of vocal chords.
We ended the day with chapel, and it was awesome to have the middle school worship team leading the music today!
