Thinking Before We Bite!


We are learning to think before we bite! Sometimes it's easy to eat without thinking, especially when watching the television. Today we learned about tips that will help us to outsmart junk food. The tips are pretty logical, when we think about it, and one does involve turning off the t.v. when eating, which can lead to mindless overeating.

Today, we participated in our third McD's Cafe! The plot of The Westing Game certainly keeps us guessing. Some of us have been surprised and others are putting together some interesting clues. For instance, we noticed something interesting about the following characters' names: Sandy McSOUTHers, Mr. WESTing, and Barney NORTHrop. Do you see it? Are these men connected in some way? We're wondering! The groups did a great job with discussions today! We were also excited about the delicious drinks that Cambria and Sarah (&parents) shared with us! We enjoyed fresh apple cider...yum! Thank you!

Today was Library day! We were able to check out new books! Since our AR contest has begun, we're really excited about sinking our teeth into a great book! Don't worry, we think that's a pretty healthy choice!

Homework:
Reading - Quiz tomorrow.
Spelling - Quiz tomorrow.
Science - Outer planets study guide due tomorrow.
Long-term - Read pages 111-144 in The Westing Game and complete your new role for next Friday.
