We had a fun day today!  Here's how it went:

1. Opening exercises - the children measured 20 different things in our classroom.  It was a great review of measuring accurately, as well as remembering to tell what unit you're measuring, and whether you're measuring length, width, or height.
2. W.W. - we finished the opinion writing about which dog matched which owner.  
3. Handwriting - The class worked on finishing their handwriting exercise books.  These will come home as I mark them.
4. B.U.G. draw! - As per usual, we enjoyed our end of the month B.U.G. draw.  
5. Math - the Grade 3's worked on division again while the 4's went WAY back in their textbooks to work on equations using multiplication and division.
6. R.W. - I decided we should enjoy the glorious sunshine today, so we took our classroom outside and read from These Are My People there.  It proved challenging for some kids as reading aloud outside is very different from reading aloud inside, especially when planes go by overhead.  It was an excellent experience for them all though!
