We had a wonderful Wednesday today. It started with our Opening Exercises, where the students journaled about what it would be like if it actually rained cats and dogs. Then we went on to grammar where we continued our work with verbs. Afterwards we had Social Studies and we started our unit on government. This unit will include a few debates whichc I always look forward to, as well as a culminating field trip to visit our mayor, Sharon Gaetz, in March

Afterwards we had a fun game of Dungeon Ball for DPA, and then we were off to swimming. Thanks to my drivers (Stephanie F., Bob, and Raelene) for helping us out.  Some of the children mentioned that they`d enjoy walking sometime, so we might plan that for one up the upcoming weeks when the weather is good.  I did overhear them say that it was simply for time out of the classroom though.  ;)

Following swimming we did a desk clean, which many students were in dire need of, and then we had lunch.  The afternoon was spent doing the writing component of the FSA practice tests.  The Grade 3's worked with my mom (a retired elementary teacher) on their own writing during this time.

Again, if anyone knows the whereabouts or has information pertaining to the whereabouts of the missing Lego wheelbarrows from our class, that would be much appreciated.  Thank you!
