Hi everyone, 

What a busy and fantastic day we had! This morning during Grammar we learned about how to spell the past tense. During Social Studies we arranged the chairs into a circle, read the assigned article about the Great Depression and then had a discussion about it. Some of it was an open conversation, where students were encouraged to participate and share their ideas, and for some of it I posed questions that students had a chance to respond to. Overall, they did a great job and it was a rich learning experience. We had fun in Science learning about the ever present, amazing, water cycle! Students each had to explain the steps we learned today to me before they could go for Chinese and were rewarded with a sticker on their forehead! =) During Math we learned how to regroup in division. At the end of the day we celebrated being finished our first novel study on The Witches by watching the film. Throughout students had to fill in a Venn diagram to compare and contrast the film with the movie. This will be be used to transition into our next form of writing; compare and contrast essays.
