The class is buzzing with talk of fractured fairytales, which is the unit we're heading into with writing. We had a hilarious time today reading, The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales, and then the students went on to read a different fractured fairytale. On Monday we'll compare the fairytale they read with a traditional fairytale. Soon they'll be off writing their own fractured fairytale (where they change either the character, the setting, the conflict or the resolution from a traditional fairytale). They're excited about it! Please read a few to your children at home if you have them, just to give them more options to choose from when fracturing their fairytale.
We had devotions this morning as well, and the Spelling test and memory verse check. Reading Workshop was spent finishing some work from Chapter 9 of our Literature Study, and then reading independently. Before going out for recess the children listened to my read aloud from The Hobbit.
In Math today, the 3's did some review work (remember their test is on Wednesday!), and the 4's started talking about decimals! We learned today that 3/10 is equal to 0.3. Monday we're moving on to hundredths.
For Science we did some review work today in the format of a game which everyone enjoyed. It also gave the students an idea of what to expect on the quiz.
