Good afternoon everyone!  I'm so thankful for the beautiful weather we've been enjoying.  Hopefully you had an opportunity to enjoy it with your family this past weekend.  I spent a bit too long in the sun at Parker's baseball game (time to dust off the sunscreen bottle!) and ended up a wee bit red!

Here's how our day played out:

1. Opening exercises - we completed an O.W.I. of a humourous photoshopped photo of some ants fishing for something.
2. Spelling and memory - words and verse are on the blog under 'Spelling and Memory', and the verse this week is Psalm 98:4-6
3. R.W. - the students did independent reading, followed by some time to work on their Ch. 2 literature study activities, and then I read aloud from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
4. Math - The Grade 3's did some additional activities on equal parts and the 4's started figuring out problems such as 1/3 of 9, or 2/5 or 10.
5. S.S. - we continued our study of pioneers, today focusing on how they prepared the land for their homesteads
6. Chapel - led by Mrs. Bloch (self-control was the topic - ask your child what they had to do in order to demonstrate self-control)
