Today in writing, we talked about using vivid verbs in our writing and how it can really make your writing shine.  We are going to begin posting stars around the room showing examples of ‘sparkling’ verbs students have used in their writing.  In math, we took our chapter 6 test on subtracting with regrouping.  In reading, we continued our study of Patricia Polacco.  We read The Keeping Quilt and then created our own classroom quilt to symbolize each person in our classroom family.  In science, we continued our study of the water cycle and did the second trial of our experiment.
