Good afternoon everyone, 

This morning in Reading we continued with The Witches. During Science we took advantage of the beautiful weather and went outside to play a couple of movement games to model predator pray, and herbivore, carnivore,and omnivore relationships. In our discussion circle during Social Sciences we talked about the Jazz Age in the 1920's.
