Monday

Today was a busy day. In math, we reviewed subtracting using mental math. In language, students are finishing up their Flat Stanley writing. They also began writing a news article. The choices to write about were field day, the Flat Stanley field trip, or Catholic Schools Week. They are writing 2 paragraphs. They were also given their letter from their new pen pals. They were given pictures of their pen pals and most brought them home. We are saving the letters until they write back.

In social studies, students listened to a story about George Washington and did some follow up activities. They also picked a president to research and write about. They will be researching a president using the online World Book Encyclopedia.
