We had a nice, calm Friday. They started off by completing their basic facts quiz and spelling test, we then painted poppies. I hope you enjoy the pictures!
What are the most important "Elements of a Story'? This is what our morning discussion was based on. From this, we each created a poster as a 'cheat sheet' for the back of our journals. It included: characters, problem, theme, setting, solution and plot. This began our discussion around Fairytales. I read them "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs."

In Social Studies today we learned about the different continents, oceans and hemispheres. Mrs. Craig drew a diagram showing the equator. Ask your child: Why do we get 4 seasons?
