Over the Hump Day! Already?

The week is flying by! I guess it flies when you're having fun!

Team Enterprise participated in many exciting activities today. Mr. Abbondanza, who just returned this week, met with us in the gym to review his expectations for the year. He reviewed our values, privileges, bus conduct, and other important items to remember. He caught us first thing in the morning, while our minds were fresh!

In Writing, we're talking about the secret knowledge of grown-ups!! We're very excited to learn this top secret information that all parents know, since we've never been informed. Grown-ups have always given us reasons for things that they want us to do, so we're very excited to discover the "real" reasons behind their requests! The story Mrs. McIlvaine is sharing for this activity is "The Secret Knowledge of Grown-ups: The Second File" by David Wisniewski. It's a great story, which will help us to generate ideas for our first writing assignment. You'll love it!

Today in Math, we reviewed exponents and discussed how to write a number in expanded form using exponents. There may be a pop quiz tomorrow on the first two sections.

In Health, we started Chapter 10 and learned that knowing your strengths helps you feel good about yourself and improve your weaker areas.

Science was a time of review of the terms observation and inference. We finished our posters. Tomorrow, we plan to exchange our posters and try to find the inferences.

Our story "Tony and the Snark" is coming up tomorrow! We have practiced our skill and new words. We can't wait to see how these words will play into the story. We've made some predictions and will have to read to see if we're correct.

The learning stations we visited this afternoon helped us to review important language and math skills! What a busy day we had! It's no wonder it was over before we knew it!
