Friday April 20:

Wed and Thursday were covered by Mrs. GP and she is not yet trained on updating or using a blog.

Friday began as most Fridays do in our class, with our weekly spelling test.  The tests were marked and recorded but, as Tracey is away they were not handed back.  They will be handed back on Monday.

After Spelling the students had time to read followed by recess.

After recess we talked about tally marks and how to use them in graphing.  We did a tally of 5 popular fast foods having the students pick which one they would choose for supper tonight.  (pizza, burgers, sub sandwich, hot dog and nachos)   I then took the students to the computer lab and gave them their first lesson in Microsoft Excell, with a lesson on how to make information into a graph. 

The students explored all the different types of graphs that Excell had and tried to decide which format was the best format to display the information.

 After lunch we had buddies with our buddy class where the students read and played games with our buddies
