Thursday!...Wow!!! Hard to believe that it is April 7 already.

Well, we got off to a great start with Mrs. Jones in Music where we practiced our Annie songs.
The songs are really coming together, but we all know that practice makes progress!

After music, we met with Mr. Demman where we practiced our detective skills.  We were collecting evidence to support our inferences while Mr. Demman was reading "Fly Away Home" by Eve Bunting.

During our morning nutrition break and read aloud, we continued with our story "Follow the Elephant".  We are very close to the end and will likely finish tomorrow.  So excited to know what is going to happen!

This afternoon started with math.  We were reviewing our basic multiplication fact strategies.  We started with Circles and Stars. Following a round of Math Daily 3, we played a fast paced round of 'Around the World'.  Great job quickly accessing those multiplication facts.

We then joined Mrs. Peterson's class where we shared our science inquiry projects and ideas.  It was great to see so many proud people sharing their great ideas and efforts.  We were so engaged in our sharing that we quickly had to pack up our projects and hustle to the gym for gymnastics with Mrs. T form Alberta Gymnastics.

The last few minutes of the daily were action packed.  We played a quick game or Around the World multiplication.  The grande finale was was feverish round of multiplication facts.  WOW!!!  That was so much fun!

Just a few reminders:

- There is an Annie rehearsal at 10:30 for those who are in Scene 8.
- Please remember to send in your Annie ticket orders and movie night forms.
- We will be going on a community walk tomorrow, so please dress appropriately for the weather.
