We ended the day with the kids putting me into tears laughing so hard, which is a perfect way to end a busy week in my opinion!

1. Opening exercises - the children worked on a challenging crossword puzzle
2. Spelling test - their scores, along with their memory verse scores, are in their planners
3. R.W. - we read Ch. 3 of The Chocolate Touch
4. Computers - we spent some time exploring a few links I find for the students for educational games
5. Music - with Mr. Banman
6. Math - tests were returned, corrections were started, and tests are being brought home for signing.  If you have time to work on any further corrections with your child, that would be appreciated
7. D.P.A. - the gym was in use, so we did DPA in the classroom today.  Each student led the class in movement and we had lots of fun
8. Science - today we learned about how the sun's position in the sky affects the length of shadows.  We did an experiment to do with this as well, noting how short shadows are at noon compared to the morning and evening.  If the sun comes out this weekend, please take some time to point out shadows and their lengths to your child!
9. Art - we continued on our spirographs.  These are starting to look really neat!
