Today we started the No Excuse Word spelling program.  Our words for this week are:

1. the
2. of
3. an
4. red
5. zero

Our No Excuse Word Activity that we did today was to put the list in alphabetical order.  A great way to do this is by downloading the App ABC Order and then creating custom lists.  To download the app click here:

In Language Arts we continued working on interesting sentences.  Today we made a list of Action Words that we can add to our sentences.

Here are some examples of sentences the students came up with:

1. The big pink pig is eating.
2. The little brown owl is singing.
3. The stinky pink pig is playing.

In Science we learned that by adding water to paint it makes the paint thinner and therefore the colour thinner.
