We started today with adding three more books to our 'Books of the Bible' list (we're at Ecclesiastes now, and that one is a mouthful for these kids to say!).  Then we finished off this topic in Bible about building our foundations on the rock, not the sand.  Then the students worked on handwriting and contractions, as well as some grammar review.

They had an earthquake drill during library time today, which proved interesting as there isn't a multitude of hiding locations in that room.  They figured it out though, and everyone was safe.

After recess the students had Music, and then an outdoor DPA session with Mrs. Everett.

We had Math today as well, and the students continued their work with place value, using base ten materials.  The Grade 4's found different ways of showing the same number, and the 3's were working on writing numbers in expanded (300+50+3) and standard (353) form.

After lunch we had Art, and the students finished their name art from last day.  I also read to them from 'Matilda' during this time.

We finished the day with chapel, led by Mrs. Bloch and she talked about what we can do when we're having a rotten day, which we all have. Hopefully today wasn't a rotten day for any of your children! :)
