Rainy Thursday

It rained great big drops today! What a pretty rainstorm. We didn't go outside for lunch recess because of the rain. It was very hard to concentrate on our work.

Math was hard with lots of adding money on our calculators. We learned how to figure out how much we saved if we bought things on sale.

As we read The Ballad of Mulan, we looked for clues the author wrote that told us how the people felt. Finding clues helps us make 'inferences." That means using our thinking to use the clue to figure out what the author doesn't say right out in words. We can figure out peoples feelings, or events that have happened.

We watched a cute movie about the sun. The sun is the closest star to Earth. As Earth turns around the sun shines on the part that is facing the sun. The other part of the Earth is in the dark. That is what makes day and night.

Mighty Math drills were passed off by Abbie, Samantha, Ricky, and Stetler. Stetler now moves on to 2B. Keep those practice papers coming in!
