Hello to all of my students and their families!  We had a great day today.

1. Opening Exercises - the day began with some Daily Gram work, as well as an announcement of the arrival of Mrs. Bloch's first grandchild!
2. Math - the Grade 3's worked on numerators and denominators and the 4's worked on converting hundredths and tenths to decimals
3. Grammar - today's focus was on topic sentences and supporting details, which we've been working on in S.S. as well, so it was a great cross-curricular connection
4. DPA - the class played Dr. Dodgeball today
5. Music - with Mr. Banman
6. R.W. - we had a wonderful chunk of independent reading time today.  My goal is to get all of these students hooked on a chapter book during this time!
7. W.W. - we went off to the lab.  Today was our third last day in the computer lab, and then this writing will be homework. (due next Monday)
8. S.S. - we had a border officer (Mr. Bergen) visit our class today and he answered a number of questions the students had about his job.  Then we finished up some main idea/supporting details we had to do from last day about pioneer homes.
