We began the day and the week with spelling:

The students (The spelling words are also in the right column to make them easy to find throughout the week) Along with the spelling pre-test the students worked for 20 min on the unit 26 spelling sheets. After spelling the students worked on printing and handwriting. Given two different views of the barren lands / tundra the students printed one of the quotes and hand wrote the second in their best handwriting form.

After Recess the students worked on a one page report on Captain George Vancouver for our weekly Famous person assignment. Captain Vancouver is best know for his mapping and charting of the 27000 km of the coast of British Columbia.

Math: We corrected the last two pages of our fractions handout (writing fractions as part of a group). Then the next three pages were assigned (numerators and denominators)

Just over half of the students handed in their mini book that was due today. Our new mini book is called. "My Memory Box". Each page of the book has a border that makes it seem like your looking into the inside of a box. The students draw a picture of something from a special time, thing, place, moment, person then write about it. This is due in two weeks.

After lunch the students not in choir listened to and did a one page report on Bing Crosby. After Choir we read for 35 minutes then the students went to music with Mrs. Awalt.
