September 16

Today, we played a game in gym, it was called murder ball.  Miss Pattie rearranged the seats today.  We got to choose our seats originally, now Miss Pattie has put us where we might work a little better and quieter.  We looked at a multiplication chart to discover which facts we already know.  Now we know which ones to focus on.  In French we worked on our alphabet.  We also learned the words for 'where is?" and "here is".  We used these phrases to put the alphabet together.  We got to read quite a bit today.  In Theme we continued to plan what we would bring to our deserted island.  We have to estimate how long things are and what their weight might be.  The whole box will have to weigh less than us.  In Writing we learned about ARMS and COPS to help us when we revise and edit.  ARMS stands for Add, Remove, Move or Substitute.  COPS stands for Capitals, Order, Punctuation, and Spelling.
