We started the day writing Similes on a variety of themes. One student wrote "Children are like monkeys always jumping around." After Language arts we continued with math multiplication like yesterday with questions like 11 x 234, 12 x 222.

After recess the students had music then we began to write a new mini-book based on a fairy tale or story like little red riding hood, the 3 pigs or beauty and the beast. The students have to add different characters, change the plot of the story or tell the story from a different perspective. The students have two weeks to complete this mini-book, which makes it due on April 12th.

After Lunch the students went to choir. Those students not in choir listened to and did a one page report on the famous children's singer Raffi. This was followed by socials where we watched a couple of videos. one an add by the Newfoundland tourist bureau suggesting that the first Europeans to settle in America were actually the vikings. Viking sagas talk of a land they called Vineland. The students worked on a one page report on the Vikings coming to America.
