Today was a productive day!  Here's what went down:

• Opening exercises - we did independent reading and reviewed the new homework procedures.  
• W.W. - we began a new project today.  The students will be writing narratives (stories that can either be real or imaginary) about their best or worst day ever.  Today we shared some personal stories about best and worst events in our lives and then started our graphic organizer for our prewriting
• Handwriting - the Grade 3's continued their print review and the 4's worked on upper and lower case D
• Earthquake drill - we practiced what we would do in an earthquake, and answered a lot of "What if" questions about earthquakes
• Math - we had our patterns test.  On to number concepts and operations next!
• P.E. - with Mr. Banman
• R.W. - with Mr. Ediger
• Chapel - Mrs. Ryskamp spoke today
