What did we do this week?

• On Wednesday we did our science test.  The grade 3 test was different than the grade 4 one.
• On Thursday we had our first swimming class.  We got sorted into groups based on our level.  We went into the tanks and the lanes and practiced skills such as the front crawl.
• As per usual, we have been working on patterns.  We did lots of increasing pattern activities with questions and pattern rules.  A pattern rule tells the appearance of a pattern.
• In art, we finished our haunted house art.  We added cracked windows and spider webs or shadows.
• Today for Fresh Air Friday we walked to a community mural and drew pictures from it.  Then we went to a sidewalk covered in drawings like sunflowers.  After that we went to the community garden.
