September 14th
Our class is becoming experts on the eight parts of speech. Yesterday was, "Pronoun Day", and today was "Adjective Day", both comparative/superlatives. Understanding these will help us become better writers.
We took the NWEA MAP test for reading, and then focused on number stories in math.
We read National Geographic Magazine for Kids and discussed the planet Mars. Students participated in virtual simulations on the SMART Board-Understanding the atomic Structure of Metal & the Phoenix Rover MARS Mission (UofA) project . We concluded the day with our MAP Quiz and progressed with our geography studies. What a full day!

Remembering September 11, 2001
Our class learned more about the history of September 11, 2001. We read and discussed a book called, The American Spirit. We wrote letters of appreciation to our local heroes. In addition, we also learned about the science behind the construction of the Twin Towers. 9/11 was a very sad day that most will never forget.
