Here is what we did today.
Language: Today we reviewed what you need in order to write a narrative. First we read a story I wrote about the day I was granted a wish. We talked about the descriptive language and various sentences in the story. We went over the success criteria for their story on "The day I learned to fly." Next we went over different words to use instead of the word "said" including: shouted, whispered, cried, declared, complained and moaned, etc. Next we went over some words we don't want to use including : nice, once upon a time or one day. Next we went over different ways we can describe something using our five senses. Finally we wrote our stories and they did really well! Here are some examples!

Math: Today we went over the review and they fixed their mistakes and continued to practice. The test is tomorrow.
UOI: Today we gathered with Ms. Glover's class and we read "Four worlds: The Dine Story of Creation", an aboriginal story. We talked about what the story meant. They learned the aboriginals pray and give thanks for the land, animals and water. If they take something from the earth, they give thanks and give something back to it. They also use all parts of the animals as to not waste any of it. The pioneers believed in clear cutting the forest and they did not give thanks as they thought that the land was their's for the taking. They built houses, farms, and businesses on them. Next we started a venn diagram comparing both sides and we will be finishing it tomorrow.
