Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!  The class learned today about who St. Patrick was (a young missionary in Ireland).  Here's what we did on this unusual Tuesday, with Mrs. Bergen teaching:

1. Math - many students needed extra assistance after yesterday's activity, so we spent the class going over any problems the students had and correcting their mistakes to ensure they understood.  Unfortunately, some didn't use the 50 minutes very wisely and therefore have some homework.
2. R.W. - I read aloud from The Indian in the Cupboard
3. Science - we did some fun experiments where we learned about suspension and chemical reactions!  Ask your child to describe the volcano and the goop we made!
4. W.W. - we had a wonderful time doing some Mad Libs today.  As silly as they might seem, they really reinforce what a noun, verb, plural noun, and adjective are.  
5. Art - we continued on our butterflies in motion project
6. Library
7. P.E. - we enjoyed a game of California Kickball outside
8. Computers - the class did 25 minutes of ATRT and then had 25 minutes of educational game time
