Welcome back. It was great to read all the exciting things the students did over the spring break in there ME (morning exercise). I was way too busy working around the house and yard. OK I did manage to read 4 novels, however, I have looked forward to being back at school where the students have to work harder than me.

Today

Before recess the students began the day with a pre-test for unit 24 of our weekly spelling words then they wrote a one page report about their Spring break.

Unit 24: action fiction mission divide division attend attention pollute pollution express expression educate education music musician magic magician physician (Bonus: fractions)

After recess the students did a one page report on Captain Cook as part of our ongoing series on famous people connected to Canada. (The new unit we are starting in Socials is on the coming of Europeans to North America) This was followed up with 30-40 min of reading from 'Highlights' magazines to take them up to lunch time.

This is an exciting day for the grade 4's as they are now allowed to be lunch monitors. (See the separate blog entry in the student newspaper for a writeup and picture of the new lunch monitors)

In the afternoon half the class (all the girls) went to choir and the other half (all the boys) did a musical appreciation listening and a one page report on Stevie Wonder. This was followed by an art class where we talked about and designed a tile for stage one or the school mural project (see the connecting blog entries at the right to http://tillicummural.blogspot.com) . The students ended the day in Music with Mrs. Awalt.
