On Monday we started short stories, we made up the stories and wrote them in google docs. We had best choice this week. We started our windball project for art. In G math on Monday we had a quiz and for T math they had it on Friday. In science we learned the different types of bones in your body, and had a book club for our book, Tuck Everlasting. In our book clubs we have different jobs to do when you are reading you find what you are looking for. On Friday we did DEAR. It's when you stop and drop what you're doing and you read for 15 minutes in honor of a 2nd grade teacher that had passed away.
