In problem solving we started looking at a new strategy for solving problems.  We started by solving the problems together, then we would start the problem and Ms. Pattie would show how we should have set it up and we could check our answers.
In writing, we looked at the books in our desk and wrote on a sticky note, what kind of hook each of them started with.  We also had to include the title of each.  Then we placed the sticky notes on charts around the room.
In french we added words to our personal dictionary, now we have to figure out what they are.  We also worked with a partner to practice our script.
In theme we made some corrections to the edited copies of our island writing.  We then worked on comparing an Aboriginal group to the society starting on our islands.
After recess we worked on writing a story, but we had to do six different versions - each starting with a different hook.
Tomorrow is our field trip.
