Good afternoon on this somewhat rainy Tuesday. Here's how our day went:

1. OE: On Friday, I had a little medical procedure done that resulted in 4 stitches. As the students walked through the door, they were all very curious as to what happened to me. I gave them the following journal topic: "Mrs. Magra got 4 stitches on Friday. What do you think happened to her? Come up with a CRAZY story to tell why Mrs. Magra has these stitches!" Many students thought I was hit by an explosion, but an explosion that only gave me a cut on my chin. It was quite entertaining to listen to their interpretations.
2. Bible: We talked about the Good News, how God is beyond science, and the Holy Spirit.
3. WW: We made Haiku poems, all of which were very good!
4. Math: Today we did some word problems.
5. HACE: As we're finishing up our Friendship unit, the students had the chance to interview another student in the class and turn their answers into a Cinquain poem.
6. Library: With Mrs. McNutt.
7. PE: We played Captain, My Captain followed by Dungeon Ball.
8. Science: Today we compared healthy plants with unhealthy plants and discussed the different conditions that cause these plants to be healthy and unhealthy. Then we started a little experiment to see these conditions come to life. We will have a plant in normal plant conditions (ie. water, sunshine, room temperature) and a plant in abnormal conditions (ie. no water, darkness, cool temperature, in a garbage bag). Next week we will see the difference between the two plants.
