Good afternoon everyone.  Today was a decent day, but much of the class was super chatty.  Not sure why!  Likely it was just one of those days.  Often I find that after a substitute has been in, their behaviour is a bit below expectations, so that could be why.  Tomorrow should be loads of fun though, and they've always had awesome behaviour on field trips, so I'm sure that will continue to be the case.

1. Opening Exercises - the children journaled about their recent influx of substitute teachers (Mrs. Magra could still use your prayers as she continues to recover from her concussion)
2. W.W. - we finished up our turkey writing today
3. Grammar - the students are doing some work with dictionaries and encyclopedias right now
4. DPA - we played Dungeon Ball
5. Music - with Mr. Banman
6. Math - Fractions and decimals test
7. S.S. - we decided how our pioneer project (gameboards) would be marked.  I really wanted the students to have a say in how they'd be assessed, so that they knew exactly what the expectations were.  We'll start this project next week Wednesday.
