Today was a pretty out of the ordinary day but it always is during testing week. In Math, we started our review presentation as well as completed some Earth Day word problems as review of skills. After lunch, we read Each Kindness by Jaqueline Woodson. This is an excellent book that shows that every little nice thing a person does, can make a difference in the world. Then, we read Just a Dream by Chris Van Allsburg. This was perfect for Earth Day as it looked into a child's dream, if he continued on the haphazard path of littering and not taking care of the Earth. We then did some sorting and questioning dealing with the book and our Earth. Next, we moved tables apart and created efficient seating for tomorrow. Finally, we ended our day playing Reading themed games like Blurt, Boggle, Scrabble Flash, Logic and Reasoning and Hidden Hints.
