We began the week with our weekly spelling pretest.  Our spelling words for the week are: 

didn't, that's, they're, you're, couldn't, haven't, o'clock, we're, isn't I'm, it's, who's they'd, could've, they've, you'll, don't, aren't, ostrich, Mississippi.

After the pretest the students worked on the 4 page of spelling sheets that help the students focus on the weeks spelling words.   This weeks words are all contractions which are a shortened form of a word or group of words, with the missing letters usually marked by an apostrophe.

After recess the students had silent reading  for half an hour followed by Handwriting practice where they wrote out the Spring:

March wind is a jolly fellow; 

He likes to joke and play.
He turns umbrellas inside out
And blows men's hats away.
He calls the pussy willows
And whispers in each ear,
"Wake up you lazy little seeds,
Don't you know that spring is here.

This was followed by math where we marked the work we did last week on writing dollars and cents and converting cents to dollars and dollars to cents.

After lunch we had p.e. with Mrs Mantai's class followed by Socials where we worked in the computer lab on our design your own country report.
