What did we do today?

• In math, the grade 3s continued their multiplication strategies.  Once we were finished we answered some questions on page 302 of our textbook. The grade 4s worked on their questions from the their textbooks too.
• Ms. Jones and Ms. Cowdy, introduced Multiplication Ninja Mondays.  Each Monday we have the opportunity to show how we have mastered certain facts.  When we have mastered one, we receive a belt.  We have to master the white and yellow belts to receive our ninja pencils.
• Since it was cold outside today, we did speedstacks in the classroom with room 5.  Using 12 cups, you make an upstack which is the tower, then you use a downstack, where you use two cups to push them into two stacks.
• Today was our third day with Evergreen Theatre.  We practiced our raps, lines and places we need to be on the stage.
• After lunch, we had time to work on writing.  Tasks included typing out our spooky stories, working on our punctuation station or finishing our science animal profiles.
• In music, some people played on the xylophones while others had rhythm sticks.  We played the song Land of the Silver Birch.  We also played a rhythm game.
• In Daily 5, some of us worked on our punctuation stations, had teacher time with Ms. Jones or Mrs. Wilkens, did listen to reading, or read with someone or to ourselves.

Questions:
1. How will our Evergreen Show turn out on Friday?
2. What costumes will Judith bring for us to wear tomorrow?
