This morning after our meditation we learned and practiced some strategies for dividing up a story to write a concise summary of the beginning, middle, and end. Everyone worked together and participated and did a great job!
In Social Studies we talked about how the beginning of the end of the arms race and in Science we did an experiment to show how we can make a solution and then analyzed our results.

This is what was written on the board this morning:
James’ mom is having twins over his summer break so he is spending the holiday with his Uncle Romie and Aunt Nannette. He has never met them before so he feels concerned. Right away, James notices how different NYC is from his home. He also learns that Uncle Romie is a collage artist who has a big art show coming up, so he will be very busy working. Although James explores much of the city, he likes Harlem the best.
