What's going on?

This past week:
  • The children finished typing their tall tales. The stories they chose were very entertaining. When I get a bit of extra time I'll publish some of their tales on the class website.
  • We wrote letters and made Valentine cards that were sent to Miss Pamperin.
  • In math we took on a few challenges:
    • First, we multiplied 3 digits (2 x 5 x 9)
    • Then, we moved on to multiplying identical numbers (4 x 4 x 4)
    • Finally, we did the same multiplying, but wrote them as exponents.
    • We'll be working on that challenge for weeks to come.
This coming week:
  • Tuesday is a science test on weather and the tools we use to measure it.
  • Perhaps this week, short as it is, would be a good time to watch our movie and have our snacks for the AR reward.
  • The kids had a few ideas for which movie they'd like to see and what kind of snacks they want.
  • But the final decision is mine.
God's blessings to you and your family.
Psalm 86:5

You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you.

  1. So what movie did you end up watching...or are you going to watch it today?

  2. We watched The Wizard of Oz. It was their choice. I'm sure that the choice was influenced by the fact that I was reading the book, Wizard of Oz to them. While reading the book and while taking short breaks during the film, we were able to discuss the differences between the movie and the book. I'll have to ask them which one they liked better, and why.
