Due to Cerrito Creek's field trip today, we did not have math class and do not have any newly assigned homework. The homework from Tuesday evening is still due tomorrow.

Homework: State spelling practice.

Reminder: State Spelling test tomorrow! Study those words!

This morning we took the opportunity to focus on our states puzzle and the location of the states. After reviewing the states and their location, we took our first "pop quiz" and tested our knowledge of where the states are geographically. We continued to work on our states and embarked on rewriting information to add to the maps, which we are finishing this week!

Today was our last session of Spot Writing at Strawberry Creek Park for a while.  Today's focus was to use the environment to inspire fictional writing.  Some students created stories about critters, plants, and trees that they encountered during the past few weeks, while others posed questions and thoughts about their spot and surroundings. We are looking forward to continuing the writing we have started outside in the classroom and maybe even publishing some of our Spot Writings!




Today was our Buddy Day and we went over to the park to play some "Roshambo" games together. It was nice to be out in the open field running around with our Laurel Creek buddies!
