I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service.
I acted and behold, service was joy.

Day 92

AM/PM-- Today we became detective so that we could see context clues that will help us to know the definition of words that we do not know when reading a text.

Writing: Today we went over the different strategies that we can use to make a really awesome persuasive essay rather than just an okay one.
I also went over the rubric which will be on the blog if you would like to take a look at it at home.

Math: Today we became Oompa Loompa's and made candy wrappers for different cubes. This was to help us learn volume and surface area with various candy amounts. It help give them practice on the concept in real life situation (well sort of...if you believe in Oompa Loompa's)

Today we called new class officers. Congratulations to

Delaney for President
Carson for Vice President
Brayden for Secretary


We also read from "Redwall"

Science: Today we talked about inherited traits.

Last of all we practiced some Hope of America songs.
