Happy Groundhog Day! I haven't heard whether or not it saw its shadow so will be wondering tonight!
After reviewing our Personification work from yesterday, students were introduced to Alliteration. We read a story together on Epic Books, then they read another to themselves on Epic Books: Chips and Cheese and Nana's Knees, which they really enjoyed.
Yes, we used the iPads for the first time today! The kids were very excited about this. They read on Epic Books, and later went on to IXL to practice their Time-related skills during Math.
This afternoon, we were busy with science: learning more about neurons. We also got caught up on labeling the model neurons, put some finishing touches on their colour wheel umbrella art work, and learned some more "Zentangle" designs.
We did manage to get outside today, also, for a bit. It doesn't look like much but we were pretty busy getting set up with the computers and also keeping track of our elapsed time for subjects throughout the day.
There's a new Scholastic book order out - your child has it.
