We started a new set of Centers this morning. We only have one more set to go before the Christmas holidays!! Please remember to practice your spelling words for Friday's spelling test.

After recess, students worked through 4 writing stations. Each of the stations focused on using transition words in our writing. At station 1, students worked to put a paragraph in the right order. At station 2, students were to describe a weather forecast for a 5 day period, using transition words to connect the days. The third station had students begin planning for a "How To" guide for a topic of their choice. The fourth station was on the computer.

Students were introduced to the third mental math strategy today, Compatible Numbers and Compensation. We will continue with this strategy tomorrow. Students also completed a review of the Breaking it Down strategy.

We finished up our day with Phys Ed and Read Aloud.
