Our
indoor planting activity was a glorious success. There is something
about getting our hands messy and dirty that truly delights the soul -
and you know I am always up for these kind
of adventures!
We
continue to work on opinion writing in Writers Workshop. We continue
to be AMAZED by the cleverness of the projects that are coming in the
classroom to represent the landmarks we
have studied with our Geography unit: Australia. We have an Invention
library in our classroom as part of our new works for April. We
continue to talk about recycling and composting. We reviewed how to use
a dictionary for Language work. And we discussed
the times in which we do certain activities during the day for our
Time/History unit. Handwriting, math and language continue to be daily
activities.
We
worked on addition words problems and discussed what clues we are given
in the story to help us figure out how to solve the problem: in all,
altogether, more
