Happy Tuesday!  Today we started our day with Word Ladder work and vocabulary review.  We are so very excited to be finished our religion and math exams!  We feel such relief!  Only a few more days of testing and we’ll be good to go.  Claudia and Jamie are having an interesting time with Mrs. Frankweiler in From The Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.  We really hope to find out if Michelangelo created the Angel sculpture.  After recess and after finishing up Parts II and III of our math exam, we had an energetic gym class outside with Mr. Bruno.  What a magnificent day for gym class!  After lunch, we copied our homework and read our SSR books.  In the afternoon, we worked on our Compare/Contrast writing piece and reviewed for our ILA exam tomorrow.  This week sure is flying by! 

Our day began with vocabulary review and Word Ladder sheets.  It is our last group of vocabulary words from earlier this year.  We sure have learned the meanings of many new words.  Next, we took our religion final exam.  Jamie and Claudia went to see Mrs. Frankweiler in From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.  Will she help them solve the mystery?  After recess, we began working on our final baseline piece for our writing portfolios.  We are writing a compare/contrast essay on how we’ve stayed the same and how we’ve changed from the beginning of the year.  It is so neat to see our growth!  In math, we played a review game to prepare for tomorrow’s exam.  It was the Triangles vs. the Squares.  After lunch, we read our SSR books and copied our exam schedule.  We started cleaning out parts of the room and organizing some classroom materials.  At the end of the day, we had a fun-filled art class with Mrs. McQueen.
