The weather outside was frightful, but inside it was definitely delightful!

1. Our day began with Opening Exercises, and the students did a Mad Minute.  Many of them beat their previous records, which is awesome!
2. Then it was on to W.W., which the kids were super excited about because we finally started our Big Books.  They are writing picture books for the K-2 students, and this allows me to focus on story and plot development with them, as well as writing for a specific audience, and paragraphing.
3. Before recess we had Handwriting, and the 4's reviewed upper and lower case O today while the 3's worked on connecting lower case letters
4. Math - we continued with our work on finding the relationships between numbers.  The 3's are finding missing numbers in equations using their knowledge of related facts, and the 4's are using diagrams to show relationships (we focused on Venn and Carroll diagrams today)
5. R.W. - The students had a good chunk of Independent Reading (see the video I'm going to email you shortly), and then we worked on Chapter 8 of The Chocolate Touch
6. P.E. - with Mr. Banman
7. R.W. -with Mr. Ediger
8. Chapel - Mrs. Ryksamp led
