Thursday November 7

We had another whirlwind of a day.  We began with independent reading and writing work, then moved into math where we learned a new game.  After lunch, we had choice reading and writing, then completed a small project to show our understanding of ant predators.  We even had an afternoon recess because the clouds parted long enough for the rain to stop! 
During the week, the students created ants out of egg cartons.  They will be bringing these creations home to you, but I thought it would be fun to have a picture of our "ant army".

 

It was fun to watch what they created with no instructions, just pipe cleaners, google eyes and egg cartons!

  I cherish these long weekends because the hurrying and running here and there to errands doesn't seem so urgent, and we just have time in our little to relax and play (and in my case, write a paper or two).  I hope you enjoy some wonderful family time this weekend!  See you Tuesday!
