We began the day with the thought of the week and the students wrote it out in their best handwriting.

When all the trees have been cut down,
when all the animals have been hunted,
when all the waters are polluted,
when all the air is unsafe to breathe,
only then will you discover you cannot eat money.

~ Cree ~

We talked about the meaning of the verse and came up with the idea that greed is what is causing many of the problems with the earth. We talked about how logging and hunting are not evil just over logging and over hunting.

After handwriting we went to the computer lab and reviewed the use of Microsoft Word and a great Internet site called "Wordle" which takes words you type and arranges them in cool ways. We incorporated the products of this web site into our ongoing project. Most of the students loved this site and would love to show you how it works at home.
We returned to the computer lab for 20 minutes after recess to finish printing two for each student. We returned to class where the students were given an additional 20 minutes color their 'Wordle's' or to read.


we are now switching over to math... correcting word problems from yesterday. We corrected the 5 questions from set A and the students kept working on set B and set C until lunch. This is not homework.

After lunch we begin the afternoon with another Read for the Top final. It was so close we ended up 5 to 6 for the grade 5 team. It was an outstanding effort on behalf of our class readers.

In P.E. we played dodge ball tag which was followed two small art projects.
