Bringing us Up to Date!

Sorry for the lack of posts...I've had computer issues! My power cord died and I was low on battery when it happened, so I didn't have a laptop until I could get a new power cord. Today it arrived and I'm back in business.

So to bring you up-to-date, here are some pictures and videos:

Tuesday May 4:
Mia was our child of the day. She read Weights and Measures which tied right in with what 2nd graders are studying in math.

We completed a Story Star to help us summarize our reading of Arrowhawk. We also worked on our research and expository writing projects. 1st graders learned more about 3D shapes as 2nd graders worked on measurement and fractions.
